| Missing this event would be a pit-y! |
Linden, CA
I must admit that as a young whippersnapper I probably consumed more processed cherries than raw cherries. A big treat for me back in the day was that crackling of the waxed paper wrapper as I tore open the package of a Hostess Cherry Pie. I mean, really: soft, flaky crust, encasing juicy cherries and whatever that cherry gel stuff was made of, all glazed with icing. I want one now!
Now that I’m all grown up (ha!),
I try my best not to devour such calorie bombs.
Last summer, I bought a cherry pitter, and officially became a “real”
cherry fan. Full of antioxidants, I ate
them by the bowlful. Did you know that
could really upset your stomach? I
didn’t.
Full of cherry orchards and a
hub for cherry picking and processing activities, Linden is the perfect small
town to host the annual festival, which boasts a car show, parade, bake-off and
the ever-popular pie eating contest (not the Hostess ones). Come to win, because losing is the pits! Sorry about that one.
