ogan Morse says the planning for the 87th Apple Blossom Festival got started about a month after the 86th edition wrapped up in 2018. Morse, who’s the president of the Apple Blossom Festival, says attendees to this year’s festival can expect the tradition, fun and some new and refreshing twists on events Apple Blossom Festivals have offered. Morse says he’s also looking forward to good weather. “I just want sunshine,” Morse says. “Sunshine makes everyone smile and things go smoother. I know when Apple Blossom time comes, it means I’m getting ready for summer.”
