Amanda in Traverse City, Michigan
Hello darlings,
Here we are in lovely Traverse City, Michigan for the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards ceremony. Thrills, chills, and such fun for a kid from Runt Farm. This place is famous for its cherries. I promised Tooth I’d bring back several varieties for her to use in cooking up some lovely cherry anythings. Because that’s what I like, cherries in just about anything. Here you can get Cherry Salsa, Cherry Coffee, Cherry Fudge, 5 different types of dried cherries (including one that originally came from Hungary and now only grows in one US state – you guessed it – Michigan!), and the best ol’ cherry pie in the mid-west. I know, because I had some just last night at the Cherry Stop.
This afternoon we’ll troop over to the opera house to recieve the . . . ta da . . . Gold Medal for Runt Farm: Under New Management. (Beatrice and Blossom brought along special trooping clothes for the occasion.) Then we’ll spend the next few days tasting more cherry things. Yum!
More pictures soon – I promise!
