According to an article by Nick Roth in the Sept. 29th Cape Gazette, Lewes was named Most Beautiful Small Town in America, and the winner of the Champions Category for small towns at the 2015 America in Bloom Symposium on Sept. 26th.
From all of us at Active Adults Realty, "Many congrats to Lewes in Bloom and to the First town in the First State!"
The article goes on to say, "For the fourth time in the last 15 years, Lewes has been recognized as one of the most beautiful small towns in the country.
The city was the named the winner of the Champions Category for small towns at the 2015 America in Bloom Symposium in Holland, Mich., Sept. 26.
We're ecstatic, said Warren Golde, founder and co-chair of Lewes In Bloom. It's just great for the town and all of the volunteers.
Lewes has previously won America in Bloom honors in 2010, 2005 and 2003. The Champions Category featured three-time winners and was a new category in the competition this year.
Lewes received a five-out-of-five blooms rating. Judges also gave special recognition to Lewes' floral displays.
Now that Lewes can now be considered the champion of champions, Golde said, the city has been encouraged to enter Communities in Bloom, an international competition that would pit Lewes against national winners from around the world.
Golde said work will not stop, as Lewes in Bloom will continue its mission to be the most beautiful small town in America.
