Flowers are taking center stage today at the Olmsted County Fair.

Not only do you get to look at other people's arrangements, but you'll learn how to make them too.

Starting in just about an hour, the Rochester Flower and Garden Club will be teaching people how to put together floral arrangements.

They'll show you what tools to use, and how to prep the flowers to make a beautiful bouquet.

"It's so much fun to see the youngsters come in and put together a really cute bouquet and then they get grandpa a prize and that's so heartwarming and great," said Carolyn Walk.

The fun runs until 8:00 tonight in the Horticulture Building on the fairgrounds.
