Heroes' Day at the National Cherry Festival

Posted: Updated:

Heroes' Day at the National Cherry Festival is about honoring those who have served; our hometown heroes right here in northern Michigan like our soldiers, the U-S Coast Guard, and emergency crews, to those fighting overseas. What better tribute than patriotic music and a Coast Guard flyover?

An extra special day for Jack Pickard; if his name sounds familiar, it's because he's the President of the Grand Traverse Area Veteran's Coalition. Today, he received an award for dedicating his time to support our heroes.
