Cherry Festival
Hi Folks: We just left Traverse City and are headed for the Straits. It has rained a lot of the time yesterday and today, but as the kids say “We are having a ball”. July 10, 1956
With the annual National Cherry Festival about to begin in Traverse City, I thought it would be fitting to feature a postcard picturing the cherry orchards in blossom. Since the festival began in 1926, it is very possible that the Cherry Festival was one of the reasons this postcard writer was “Having a ball”.
This year the festival runs July 4 – July 10 with something for everyone. There is an air show, 5K or 15K race, wine tasting, and of course, lots of good cherry eats. And all of you aspiring singers, be sure to check out the “Cherry Idol” competition. You just may be discovered!
Just hearing about the good things to eat makes me hungry for one of my favorite treats, cherry salsa. M-m-m good!
I checked the 10 day forecast for Traverse City and the weather looks perfect. So, bring your family, your sunscreen and your appetite and head to Traverse City.
And when your feet are tired and you want a break from the crowds, be sure to check out a Michigan lake!
