I woke up this morning to a stake in my yard in Traverse City. Soon there’ll be floats and marchers and such queueing up for the parades and festivities of the National Cherry Festival which runs July 2-9 and features all kinds of events, parades and fun for all ages including (of course) plenty of opportunities to eat more cherries!

Ken posted this photo to the Absolute Michigan group on Flickr this morning along with a wild & cool time lapse. See it biggerand in his Grand Traverse County slideshow.
