Family-owned retailer brings cherry-themed experiences to Traverse City shoppers and festivalgoers during the 100th National Cherry Festival

Blain's Farm & Fleet is bringing its neighbor-first approach to the 100th National Cherry Festival, taking place July 4th through July 11th, by celebrating the Traverse City community through festival activities and in-store experiences.

As a family-owned Midwest retailer, Blain's Farm & Fleet is committed to supporting the places it serves and honoring the local traditions that bring neighbors together. This year's National Cherry Festival is another opportunity to do just that.

As part of the celebration, Blain's will participate in the National Cherry Festival parades on July 9th and July 11th with its branded miniature Blain's Farm & Fleet trailer. Throughout the festival, the company will also sponsor the Ultimate Air Dogs Dock Jumping Competition, where festivalgoers can stop by the Blain's booth.

Traverse City shoppers can also celebrate Michigan's cherry heritage by visiting the Blain's Farm & Fleet store to explore a dedicated Cherry Shop featuring Michigan-made cherry products, cherry-themed apparel, gifts, and seasonal merchandise inspired by the state's iconic cherry harvest.

“Blain’s is proud to be part of the 100^th National Cherry Festival and to celebrate alongside the Traverse City community,” said Mark Hasting, CEO and President of Blain’s Farm & Fleet. “This festival is a special tradition, bringing families and communities together and we’re excited to help make it memorable for all our neighbors throughout the week.”
