AUGUSTA — Last weekend marked the 20th year that Springfest drew thousands of visitors Sussex County Fairgrounds.
The show itself takes weeks to construct and gives the visitor and early taste of spring. It also entices them to consider some exciting backyard projects for the coming summer season.
According to show organizers Barbara Abita, Springfest is considered New Jersey’s finest flower and garden show with 10,000 visitors from the tri-state area each year.
