MANSON - The Manson Apple Blossom Committee would like to thank the Manson and Chelan communities for their support of the Manson Apple Blossom festival over the past 99 years.  Due to the COVID-19 virus this year’s festival, which would have been our 100th, has been canceled. We’d like to wish all our friends and neighbors in the Lake Chelan Valley health and happiness, in this beautiful and abundant place we call home.
This year’s royalty Queen Teresa Venegas, Princess Libbey Ireland and Princess Nadia Verduzco, along with their escorts Blake Cochran, Parker Schoenwald and Connor Torgenson, and chaperones are planning and hoping to still attend festivals this summer and fall. A big thank you to our committee chairs and all that volunteered their time and energy early in the season; Christy Libbey, Carla Everett, Manson Parks Department, Heidi Griffith, Mona Ferguson, Mey Broome, Dianna Ellsworth, Kathy Pittman, Linda Gerot, Linda Blessin, Heather Ireland, Norm Manly, Megan Schoenwald, Kyla Allen, Jared England, Cindy Simmons, Geri Bloch, Sandy Hirst and Cole Cochran. 
We would also like to send out a big thank you to our major sponsors Manson Growers, North Cascades Bank, Windermere real estate Chelan, Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce and Manson chamber of commerce.  We’re also like to thank our county commissioners for supporting Manson Apple Blossom.
Follow us on Facebook for 2020 Royalty updates.
We look forward to welcoming you to our 101st Manson Apple Blossom Festival in May of 2021 with the return of your favorite events and more like The Pig Jig, Chicken Noodle Dinner, The Quilt Show, Street Fair, Basketball Tourney, Bin Races and Parade.
If all festivals are cancelled this year watch for a double dose of Manson Apple Blossom next year!
