Festival Queen Madison Daniels, along with her court—First Attendant Olivia Lay, Second Attendant Bella Lloyd, and Miss Personality Jenna Cornwell—took the stage to share details about the upcoming events. The Blossom Ball, set for April 26, will kick off the festivities with a seated dinner, dancing, and a silent auction. Tickets are available for purchase until April 14, with prices starting at $1.50 for couples.

The festival will also feature a school band competition, which has become a staple of the event, providing a platform for local students to showcase their musical talents. Bella Lloyd emphasized the importance of student involvement, noting that many volunteer to help run the competitions.

On Blossom Saturday, attendees can participate in the Run Blossom 5K, enjoy a craft fair at "Blossoms in the Park," and experience a vibrant parade on May 3, led by Grand Marshal Shirley Troutman. The parade will feature various floats and culminate in the Cluster Duck event, featuring live music from popular bands.
