We would like to give a HUGE shout out to West Plains Posey Patch. We asked them to make our coronation bouquets for our fall carnival at Bakersfield. They have done an outstanding job. These flowers are beautiful, and they added a special little touch to go with our western theme. Thank you so much West Plains Posey Patch.
