Opposition to potential merging with 4th of July
Information released
The rescheduling of this years 100th Anniversary Manson Apple Blossom Parade lasted barely a day as the Festival Committee on Monday officially pulled the plug on the 2020 event. It was only yesterday that the Apple Blossom Committee announced plans to move the annual May event to the 4th of July due to restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Committee co-chair Launie Buck says negative feedback to holding the parade over the busy 4th of July weekend triggered the decision to completely cancel this years 100th Anniversary event.
Buck said, “at this time we don’t wish to cause anyone in the community additional discomfort beyond what they have already been experiencing over the past few months”. She feels especially bad for the three members of the Royal Court who have been working hard since last September to represent their community in the annual Apple Blossom celebration.
