PAYETTE
Following a shutdown in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Payette Apple Blossom Festival returns for its 98th anniversary in 2021. But how did the festival get planted in Payette? What has helped it take root? The Independent-Enterprise dug deep into its archives to share with you how this traditionâs seeds were sown and share examples of what has kept it growing to where it is today.
Sowing the seeds
The first Apple Blossom Festival was organized by the ladies of the Payette Portia Club and held on May 1, 1923. The editor of the Payette Enterprise at the time was quoted in the May 3, 1923 edition as saying âthe Apple Blossom Festival ⦠was the most complete success of any event in the history of the city.â
PAYETTE â If youâre a homeowner, you probably have stories to tell about the buying process more than the moving-in process. In particular, you may have stories to tell about the agent or broker who sold it to you.
For real estate broker Jeff Williams, his entire career in the real estate business has been about making for happy stories to tell.
Williams, 63, owns the Coldwell-Banker Classic Properties office in Payette, where he not only oversees several agents but also shows houses and helps guide buyers through the process of paying for the house. Williams spent time on Dec. 29 telling the newspaper about his experience as a broker.
