Bob,
First, you can't find better people than the Oates family who own and operate D&G. Not only do they run a great business, they are very serious community supporters and volunteers. Even though you can mail order from them, I strongly suggest you visit them and meet the whole team. They really are wonderful people.
Next -- the main Apple Blossom festivities will be on Friday and Saturday, May 1 and 2, although the golf tournaments, dinners, and other festivities will run from April 24 through May 3.
Come on out. On Saturday morning, after the race, but before the main parade, I'll be one of the many volunteers parking cars somewhere on Amherst Ave., just west of the Southern States. On Friday evening for the Fireman's parade, and for Saturday's main parade, I'll be in a chicken coop, right in the middle of the parade route, helping sell drinks and hot dogs at the corner of Amherst and Washington streets -- as a community volunteer. We'll also have street-side parade viewing chairs for rent.
