Sunflower Mascot
by Sprucedale Mascot

 

This year,2009  we will continue to use our mascot. It is a walking sunflower. It will be seen at many community functions.

 It was designed and made by Bonny Robinson and Lee Medenski.So far this mascot has been seen at the Ontario Horticultural Convention in North Bay. It also was seen at the Sprucedale Winter Carnival.  If you wish to wear our Sunflower Mascot dress to advertise our Society ...let us know. When you see it..... WAVE!

If you have any ideas as to where we should be
