Apple
Blossom is in full force here in the beautiful Annapolis Valley.
Tourists are flocking in for the events and we are excited for a busy weekend
here at the store! Apple Blossom in the Valley is when everyone comes “home” to
see family and friends, to catch up and to have a little bit of fun!
What is my Apple
Blossom Tradition?
Every year
since opening the Lifestyles Plaza here in New Minas we have got to watch the parade from the store and enjoy some of the festivities when typically we would have to work! We are on the parade route so the road and the store shuts down during the parade! We bring some furniture outside, sometimes light the BBQ, and
share some snacks! It is a great way to relax after “May” and to enjoy everyone’s
company! I love the atmosphere of Apple Blossom. I often bring my camera and
capturing a few moments of the day and sometimes have my family join me to
watch the parade from the store. Not too bad of a day at work!
I was excited
to hear that Hope Blooms are the honorary parade marshals this year! The young entrepreneurs
from the North end of Halifax became known across Canada with their winning
performance on Dragons Den with their community garden and salad dressings! Their story has touched so many hearts, and their
ability to empower youth and the community is just so inspiring. They maintain and
manage gardens of fresh organic vegetables and have created their
own salad dressing… and so much more! What a wonderful program teaching our youth and paving away for their future. Their Motto... Plant a Seed and Harvest a Dream really makes you think! Please everyone check them out!

We are
actually quite busy here on parade day, so if you are planning a trip up to New
Minas and are from out of town, please keep in mind Commercial Street will be
closed from 12:45pm-2:30 (ish). If you get trapped at the store, you are more
than welcome to watch the parade with us J
Hope
everyone has a safe and happy Apple Blossom!
Talk soon,Liana Rhodenizer
