Following last weekend's Flip Flop Workshop at The Watering Can Florist on the Square, entries have been arriving daily for the Creative Flip Flop contest that will be held Saturday at the store as part of the Whitley County Autumn Art Festival. Store owner Linda Reiling had decided to create two categories: one for adults and one for children. She's also extending the deadline so that more local residents will be able to participate. To enter, simply decorate a pair of flip flops and deliver them to the store by 9 a.m. on Saturday morning. Local residents are invited to stop by and place their votes on Saturday morning for their favorite pairs. Winners will receive gift baskets filled with items from the merchant members of the Columbia City Downtown Business Association. The flip flops above, created by Kelley Sheiss, are among the entries that have already arrived at The Watering Can. For more information, call The Watering Can at 244-2711.
