A first-year Kirkwood Community College Floral Careers student won the People’s Choice award at the Iowa Florist Association 2011 Convention. Sarah Grief, a 2011 graduate of Central City Community Schools, won second place in the “Cherished Companion” category. Her floral design was then entered into the overall entries from all categories and she took home the most prestigious award, receiving the “People Choice” award. There were 25 entries in the competition. Sarah just began her floral career at Kirkwood this fall, and is looking forward to many other exciting opportunities in her chosen field.
