Cherry Festival!

Lions across our District are involved in wonderful celebrations of spring as our communities shake off winter and gather out of doors in the sunshine.

The Granger Lions Club is doing good works in preparation for their 69th Annual Granger Cherry Festival next weekend on April 28th, 29th, and 30th. Granger Lions Vice President Valdemar Valenzuela 509-830-5310 is a point of contact for the event which Lions have hosted and sponsored since 1948.

The three-day Cherry Festival centers at the city’s downtown park at Third and Main streets where carnival rides, children’s activities and food and craft vendors will be on hand beginning Friday from 6 to 9 PM. On Saturday at 11 a.m. the Cherry Festival parade starts at Roosevelt Elementary School at 405 Bailey Ave. Afterward, events will resume at the downtown park, where several bands and other acts will provide entertainment throughout the day.

Bright and early on Sunday - 7 a.m. the annual fishing derby begins. Anglers will gather at the Granger Pond at Hisey Park at the corner of Main Street and State Route 223. Entry fees for the fishing contest are $7 for adults and $4 for children 12 and younger. State fishing regulations apply.

If your travel plans have you on I-82 and US 12 in the beautiful Yakima Valley head into Granger for the food and fun. The cherry trees should be in full bloom and the dinosaurs will delight you and your kids.

Support the local Lions wherever you may be.

You Guys are Great!
