The annual Cherry Blossom Festival has been an important event in Marshfield, Missouri for the past sixteen seasons. 

The festival was born out of a dream from one of Marshfield’s very own residents, Nicholas Inman. Each year this three day festival draws people from across the United States and other countries. 

Guests and visitors include, presidential and other historical descendants, classic television, movie and music personalities and others.

All of them come together in an atmosphere of warmth, community and friendship in the heartland of America, Marshfield, Missouri.

In this episode, our guest is Nicholas Inman, Director and Founder of the Cherry Blossom Festival.  He also serves as Senior Minister of Elkland Independent Methodist Church and is the Director of the Laura Ingalls Wilder  Historic Home and Museum.
