The 103rd Washington State Apple Blossom Festival, "Celebrating Our Roots", will kick off events for the 2022 festival on October 23 with the 25th Annual Auction. The auction will be held at the Wenatchee Convention Center with tickets on sale now.

"That's one of our biggest fundraisers, if it wasn't for our auction we probably wouldn't have survived the year we didn't have a festival due to COVID," said Darci Christoferson, administrator.

Letters have been dispersed to senior girls in the Wenatchee Valley with a mandatory meeting set for December 7th for interested royalty candidates.

The festival will run from April 28 through May 8 with the golf tournament set for May 13.
