annual three-day
event in the spring that celebrates the city of Marshfield and
the state of Missouri. Activities are varied and are scheduled

Blossom Festival !
This
is a picture of Bob Barker receiving his 2009 Missouri Walk of Fame on
Friday, 09/26/2008. Mr. Barker could not make it for the April ceremony
next year, so it was arranged to present him with the honor at Drury
University, where they celebrated "Bob Barker Day" and the naming of
"Bob Barker Blvd." Pictured with Mr. Barker are cherry
blossom
festival committee members: Shirley Essary, Carolyn Yates, Bob Barker
and Nicholas W. Inman.
We look forward to seeing
you at the 2009 Cherry Blossom Festival!
