The Crest Forest display at the National Orange Show. The display is an orange-covered tower, the base of which is made to look like snow covered mountains. A mannequin sits at the center holding a wand. There is a sign on top that reads, "Crest Forest Chamber of Commerce San Bernardino Mountains." A sign at the base reads, "The blanket I spread with the snow I make melts to the valley below: That the hungry earth its thirst may slake and make the oranges glow." The Sunkist display, which runs the length of the wall, is visible in the background.
