The 100th National Cherry Festival’s Royale Parade was a day to remember! Princess Katelynn and I had a wonderful time waving at familiar faces in the crowd, loved the enthusiasm as we rode by, and of course the kids shouting ‘What’s your favorite fruit?!’ Of course it had to be CHERRIES! 🍒
Thank you Traverse City for embracing us. We loved celebrating your 100 year tradition with all of you!
