Yes they ARE great places....
and there is ALWAYS a core group of florists involved in the OFC development, design, and rollout ready, willing, and able to help ANY and ALL event Chairpersons and committee members!
I, along with the rest of us in the south, have often lamented the fact that our 'northern" florist friends do a BETTER JOB of attending such functions, and MORE WILLING to be involved!
So, all it would take is a "northern" florist accepting the responsibilities of chairing an OFC event, being approved by the current OFC board, and joining the OFC organizing committee!!
At the "post" OFC meeting, plans are put into place to begin preparations for the following year, volunteers, are "assigned" a task to ponder, new board members are "adopted" and once in a while, an existing member "moves on"!!
Ontario's NORTHland is home to some of the MOST SPECTACULAR sights, and friendliest people, and I'm sure, would "recover" quickly, from a wild buncha florists "invading" for a weekend
We NEVER leave any Chairperson "stranded"...we're here to help make this a SUCCESS each and EVERY TIME!!
Still, as "chair" it's a big responsibility, and takes a lot of work, and you'll LOVE every minute
