days of bright sunshine followed by frosty fall nights, account for the delicacy and sprightliness of flavor of Brown County apples and make them just a bit better than ordinary,” the program said.
That first festival guide included a map of 36 orchards in the county along with other sites of interest. Residents were encouraged to decorate their homes with blossoms, artist’ s studios held open house, and the Art Gallery held its annual Spring exhibition.
An article which appeared in the July, 1929 issue of Hoosier Magazine promoted the Blossom Festival with bowers of floral prose.
“ This Festival is timed for the season when the apple trees blotch the hillsides with their delicate pink and the blossom storm sends drifts of scented petals here and there. These great masses of pink and white tell us, from afar, where fruitful orchards are. They add their bit to the tapestry of budding trees and wild flowers studding the valley floor.”
“ Brown County welcomes with a bonny smile and waves a floral salute, in the breeze, to all the visitors to the Blossom Festival. She uses the motto of all ambitious florists and speaks her welcome with flowers.” •
