Manson,WA(MVT) - It's been a long-standing tradition to celebrate the night away with a Queens Ball following a full day of events connected to the Manson Apple Blossom Festival.

In 2008's "Golden Glamour" event, "The Shades" a highly popular dance band from the Tri-Cities will perform in the Manson Grange Hall from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.  Families and friends are urged to attend this family-style celebration of another Festival for Manson on Saturday, May 10.

Manson,WA(MVT) - Several details of putting on the 88TH  Manson Apple Blossom Festival were taken care of at a meeting chaired by Jama England on Monday, April 28th.

One of the most important “details” is getting folks into downtown Manson to enjoy the Festival Day!  With just one main road leading into town, that sometimes presents a problem.  The committee has been working with the Chelan County Sheriffs staff to ensure people an easy in and out of the Village by the Bay.
