On behalf of myself and Princesses Sami and Emily, we would like to welcome you to the 97th annual Apple Blossom Festival. We are so very grateful and honored for the opportunity to serve as the royalty for such an amazing community. Whether you’re enjoying the extraordinary views or basking in the sunshine on the Columbia River, the Wenatchee Valley has a 360 degree view that will mesmerize you. We are blessed to have tall and vibrant mountains filled with life all year round. We are fortunate to have the second oldest festival in Washington State. This celebration would not be possible without the hard work of each and every member of the Wenatchee Valley. Our community is filled with families that have been here for generations, individuals that have helped it grow, and orchards that have made our city thrive. Over 100,000 people will witness the magic of the 11-day festival. Individuals from all over come to experience the excitement and joy this festival brings to all. The children dance to the music being played at the food fair, and the aroma of the funnel cakes fill the valley. Apple Blossom allows us all to see what our friends and neighbors are capable of, while we all come together to celebrate the passions of those around us. We hope you take the chance to soak up the sunshine at the 2016 Apple Blossom festival. We can guarantee you a good time, because it is “Simply the Best.”

Garry graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1965, and Patti graduated from Eastmont High School in 1966 and was a Top Ten Apple Blossom Candidate. Garry and Patti attended Washington State University and that is where they met. They married in 1968 and Garry joined the Army Reserves in 1969. They lived in Spokane where Patti worked in banking and Garry worked in the floor covering industry. In 1974 they moved back to the Wenatchee Valley and in 1976 they opened the Floor Factory in downtown Wenatchee. Patti and Garry have a huge commitment for community development and volunteering. Garry is involved in Commercial Real Estate and Property Development, and has restored 2 downtown buildings to the original exterior appearance. He has been a member of the Downtown Rotary since 1982 and is the recipient of the Paul Harris Fellow and 1999 Rotary Paul Scea Fellow. Garry was an Elks Lodge Member, a board member for Boy Scouts of America, Past President of the Wenatchee Downtown Association, and was on the spearhead committee of the Streetscape project for downtown.

Patti loves Apple Blossom and has been the director of the Pageant multiple times! Every year, for 30 years, she and Garry have been a part of the set up and tear down crew for Pageant! Patti and Garry wanted to give back to the 7 remaining candidates that don’t continue on as Royalty, so they created and provide the $1000 scholarships for the remaining 7 candidates. They are both retired from the Floor Factory and enjoy collecting antiques and antique cars, traveling, boating, skiing and spending time in Chelan. They have 2 children and 5 grandchildren. Patti & Garry will be honored at the All Service Club Luncheon. Congratulations Garry and Patti, and thank you for all you do for our community and the Apple Blossom Festival! Garry & Patti Sparks

STORY

“Sherman came to our family through a friend who knew that he needed a new home. He follows me around the house and he tells me when my little boy is going to have a seizure. Connection in the community is invaluable. Without connections, we wouldn’t have Sherman.” -Melissa R., Gesa Member Read Melissa’s full story at gesa.com/mystory.
