                      RECOGNIZING DETAILS FLOWERS

 Ms. ERNST. Madam President, as ranking member of the U.S. 
Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, each week I 
recognize an outstanding Iowa small business that exemplifies the 
American entrepreneurial spirit. This week, it is my privilege to 
recognize Details Flowers of Sac City, IA, as the Senate Small Business 
of the Week
  Since 2000, Cheryl Gerry has shared her passion for floristry and 
design with the Sac City community through her small business, Details 
Flowers, which provides in-home visits for floral design, wedding 
services, and home decor to customers.
  Cheryl studied horticulture with a focus on floriculture at Iowa 
Lakes Community College and dedicated 21 years to working at Marjo's 
Flowers in Sac City before launching her own business 24 years ago with 
just two employees and a delivery driver.

  In 2005, Details Flowers moved to a larger location on Main Street in 
Sac City. Cheryl and her team brought their creative vision to life and 
fully displayed their work by transforming the store into a stunning 
showroom. All their products are customizable and tailored to meet the 
needs of each client, creating a personal relationship between Details 
Flowers and their customers.
  The business is constantly adapting to incorporate current trends, 
seasons, and, most importantly, Cheryl's creative spirit. Details 
Flowers won the Business of the Year Award from the Sac City Chamber 
for several years. In November 2023, Cheryl and her team were also 
honored as the Sac City Chamber Business of the Month.
  For more than 20 years, Details Flowers has been actively involved in 
the Sac City community. In 2020, the business sponsored the Sac City 
Scoop the Loop food pantry donation drive. Details Flowers is also a 
proud member of the Sac City Chamber of Commerce and partners with the 
chamber to visit nursing and assisted living homes on Mother's and 
Father's Day, spreading joy and ensuring no one is left without a 
beautiful flower arrangement.
  Details Flowers' commitment to providing quality floristry, decor, 
and long-lasting memories is clear. I want to congratulate Cheryl Gerry 
and the entire team at Details Flowers for their continued dedication 
to the Sac City community. I look forward to seeing their continued 
growth and success.
