PAYETTE
Like most other large gatherings worldwide, the proverbial COVID-19 ax fell on the Payette Apple Blossom Festival in 2020. But with case counts remaining low in Idaho, the Apple Blossom Committee pushed forward with its plans for the 2021 festival.
As the festival turns 98 years old, the Apple Blossom committee â comprising President Twana Morin, Linda Williams, vendor coordinator Jody Henderson and secretary Markita Williams â anticipates a busy year for the festival. Made up of numerous individual events that started May 6, the primary attractions begin Thursday and go through Sunday.
Linda and Markita Williams shared about what to expect in an interview with the newspaper on April 19. They anticipate an estimated crowd of 5,000-8,000 people over the course of the festival weekend.
