Make a pit stop in Sunnyvale for this weekend’s cherry festival

Cherry_Festival
The 19th annual Cherry Festival is this weekend at C.J. Olson’s historic stand on El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, promising plenty of juice-stained faces and spit pits for everyone.

Deborah Olson will be giving tours of her family’s cherry orchard, and there will be live music and cherry-related fun both Saturday and Sunday, including cherry pancakes for breakfast, pitting and pit-spitting contests, and birthday cake on Sunday to celebrate Deb Olson’s birthday. Not a bad way to spend part of the weekend and step back into the Santa Clara Valley’s agricultural history.
