Vendors Offer A Little Something For Everyone by Carie Canterbury
There was a little something for everyone to enjoy during the weekend when vendors set up their wares in Veterans Park during Blossom in the Park on Saturday and Sunday. Blossom Festival committee member Gina Grisenti said 120 vendors offered jewelry, hair accessories, clothing, house wares, arts and crafts and much more. There was plenty to snack on while enjoying live entertainment by D-Day Invasion, Saddle Strings, Taylors Bayou, and Studio B Dancers. Those with four-legged furry companions were treated to demonstrations and performances by Sit Means Sit dog training throughout the weekend. The attendance here for both days has been great, said committee member and organizer Bill Walker. We are so glad it was such a nice weekend. Blossom committee president Mike Fry said this years event was a lot bigger than last years. But its not the numbers that matter; its how happy the people are and what a good time theyre having, he said. The 2011 Blossom Queen Caroline Solak and her court were spotted at different places throughout the weekend, and on Sunday, they spent time at Blossom in the Park. Its been so much fun, Solak said. Weve been constantly busy, but weve loved spending the time with each other. The weather absolutely is the cherry on top; its been an amazing weekend. While the court had official royal duties to fulfill, Second Attendant Samara Hill said all the events and appointments have been more of a pleasure than a task. I think its fun because all of us are so close, she said. We actually want to go do things; its not a chore to do something. The court also made appearances at the Royal Gorge Rodeo, the carnival, the Clusterduck at Centennial Park, Fremont Center for the Arts and the band competitions. They were special guests at the Whitewater Bar & Grill and, of course, reigned over the Music and Blossom Festival parade. Ive probably eaten six caramel apples this weekend, Miss Personality Kaylee Pacheco said. We would all go get them and would be walking around with caramel apples in our hand. She said decorating the Queens float was fun, which the court decorated in Hills grandparents garage. First Attendant Danielle Des Forges said Saturday night at the carnival was an unforgettable experience. They made me go on all these really scary rides that I would have never gone on before, she said. It was so scary, but Im glad I did it. Des Forges also was First Attendant last year. This year were more wanting to go and do things together, she said. Since the pageant on March 19, the girls were guests on KRLNs Morning Line, and attended meetings and luncheons for the Lions, Rotary and Boosters clubs. Were going to try to do some more things throughout the year, Solak said.

Let The Fun Begin by Charlotte Burrous
With the plans in the works for the past year, the Caon City Music and Blossom Festival Committee hammered out the last minute details Wednesday during the meeting prior to the big event this weekend. This years Blossom Festivals theme is Stars on Main. The pre-parade will kick off at 12:30 p.m. Saturday with various entries, including the Woodland Park Saddle Club with 25 horses, the Al Kaly Shriners and the Good News Jail & Prison Ministry percheron horses. Weve built three performing acts between the pre-parade and the parade, said committee member Donita Jordan. Taylors Bayou, Sofa Kings and Saddle Strings will be performing live (in) what Im calling Mania Melodies on Main Musical Interlude. This began about three years ago when one of the performers asked to be in the parade. Since then, the bands have become a part of it. We have 18 (school) marching bands, Jordan said. The pre-parade starts at 12:30, followed by the Mania of Melodies Interlude at 1 with the main parade kicking off at 1:30 to accommodate the large influx of bands weve had competing in the National Band Competition. Also, the Royal Gorge Trolley will sport past Miss Personalities and their families. And they are known to be a happy rowdy people, and theyre bringing their kids, board president Mike Fry joked. It will be full of waving little children just having fun. New this year will be Family Night at Wrights Carnival, where families of four can purchase wrist bands for $60 tonight. Wrist bands normally cost $25 per person per day. The carnival opens at 3 p.m. today, then again from 3 p.m. to midnight Friday, 10 a.m. to midnight Saturday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday. Another highlight of the weekend are the craft shows at Veterans Park and in Depot Park, which are full to capacity with crafters, fine art and food vendors. One attraction is the 14-foot high bubble tower in Veterans Park, which will also be in the parade. Fry reported there were at least 8,700 people who attended the parade last year. This number is conservative, Fry said. We easily have had between 11,000 and 12,000 people at the parade and thats not counting the people in the bands, the floats, the parents or families that came with the bands. This is almost double compared to the count the year before, which was 6,100, but with the temperatures in the 70s, Fry said he expected the town to bulge with visitors over the weekend.
