Workroom and Cleanup
The Workroom and Cleanup Committee prepares Artistic and Horticulture workrooms by setting up workroom properties and providing supplies. The committee maintains the workroom in an orderly manner and provides assistance to exhibitors as needed. The committee disperses or disposes of unused flowers appropriately, and upon show closing, packs up workroom properties and cleans the area.
Guidelines
- Unpack, wash and fill horticulture specimen containers with water on entry days. A water supply in the room is helpful, however filled pitchers of water will work.
- Provide supplies for entering and labeling horticulture specimens in the workroom. Artistic arrangers will bring their own supplies.
- Assist exhibitors any way possible. Have runners available to help carry specimens to the show floor and to “clear the way” for exhibitors carrying arrangements.
- Keep show floor tidy and dry at all times.
- Place left over flowers in containers that the Host Club can send to supporters, shut-ins or nursing homes.
- Remove all unused flowers from the workroom and clean the exhibitor’s work areas.
- Empty any unused specimen containers.
- Assist in dismantling the show.
- Empty, dry, inventory, and pack all supplies for the storage company to pick up.
- Assist in the inventory of properties for storage.
- Clean and clear all areas.
