What’s Coming Up with Apple Blossom

30th Annual Apple Blossom Auction

Themed Roaring 20’s/Speakeasy, the evening will feature dinner, games, prizes, and incredible auction items. Proceeds benefit Apple Blossom Royalty scholarships, travel to out-of-town festivals, and the construction and upkeep of our floats and parade vehicles. Tickets are available now—https://appleblossomfes.afrogs.org/
