Properties

The Properties Committee works closely with the Staging Committee to handle flower show property management.  Daffodil, Lily and Rose Shows each have their own properties in storage containers at Hilldrup Moving and Storage Company in Richmond.  Each show requires different horticulture specimen containers, different risers for horticulture displays and different pedestals for Inter Club arrangements.  Some types of properties may be used for all shows.  The GCV Flower Shows Chairman maintains a list of these properties.

Visits to Hilldrup Moving and Storage Company are highly discouraged. If a visit needs to be made it will be cleared through the GCV Flower Shows Committee Chairman.

The moving of the properties will be taken care of by the Hilldrup personnel, but the unpacking and repacking of specimen bottles is the responsibility of the Host Club Workroom and Cleanup Committee.

A suggested tip of $35.00 to each person delivering or picking up for Hilldrup is highly encouraged. If Hilldrup personnel are present during meal time, offer food as a courtesy in appreciation for all they do for GCV.

Guidelines

1. Make arrangements with Hilldrup Moving and Storage Company well in advance for the exact date and time the properties are to be delivered before the show and picked up after the show.
2. Purchase additional supplies as needed:
   • Scotch tape, pins, extension cords
   • Ribbon for division of Horticulture classes
   • Signs for Horticulture and Artistic classes.  Some signs may be available from previous shows, but artistic class signs that are unique to the Host Club schedule will have to be made.
3. Maintain a list of properties delivered and returned to storage.  Work closely with Staging when taking inventory of properties.
4. Some small supplies should be stored by Committee Chairmen and then passed on to successive Chairmen.
   • Awards supplies, Awards Cards
   • Tabulation supplies  
   • Clerks and Runners supplies
   • Exhibitor Entry Tags
   • Reusable signage
