Last Day for Cherry Fest

Cherry Fest 2016Today’s the final day for Blenheim’s Cherry Fest.

There’s a pit spit contest, the midway, and a whole lot more.

According to Organizer JP Huggins,

“Saturday is our big Pit Spit Contest. The kid’s contest starts at 11:30AM and then we’re going to have our Celebrity Pit Spit at 12:30PM. This year, we have an NHL player coming out, some big local municipal people, Dave Van Kesteren, and people representing the Fire Department.”

There’s also lots of cherry pie,

“Probably one of the most famous things in this area is the Anglican Church cherry pies- they’re just off the main street. They usually bake and sell more than 3000 pies.”

The day wraps up at 5:00PM tonight.
