The 15th Anniversary Art of the Avocado art competition opens

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook may not have the Avocado Festival this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, but residents and visitors can still get their avocado experience!

The 15th Anniversary Art of the Avocado art competition entries are on display at the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce office, thanks to the continuing sponsorship of Fallbrook Propane Gas Company.

Fallbrook residents are invited to visit the exhibit and vote for their favorite. This year, the chamber has a wonderful variety of avocado artwork that incorporates dogs, squirrels and toast – just to name a few.

The chamber office is located at 111 South Main Avenue (cross street Alvarado). The hours are: Monday – Thursday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the Farmers Market on Main Avenue. Voting will be open from April 1 through April 15.

A reception will be held on April 17 at the chamber office to announce the winners of the competition.

The Junior Art of the Avocado Art Competition, for ages PK through eighth grade, will be held in May. For information on the Junior competition, contact Anita Kimzey, 714-222-2462 (cell) or email: [email protected].
