Rain Clouds Over Shenandoah Apple Blossom Fest
The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival faces weekend showers with a frontal system stalling over the Shenandoah Valley tonight and a southward low pressure ride in by Saturday. Sunday is slated to be clear. Arrivals continue with festival bands and celebrities, though an airline strike disrupts some plans and forces one high school band to cancel its Friday performance. Fire Marshal Richard Paul will miss tonight’s reception due to the strike, but officials aim for all guests to arrive by midnight with careful schedule juggling.
