Cherry Challenge

The George Washington Birthday Celebration Committee will celebrate George Washington’s birthday and the famous cherry tree story with a culinary contest, the 12th annual Cherry Challenge.

Approximately 50 local restaurants participate by creating cherry-inspired dishes from beverages and appetizers to entrees and desserts. Restaurant patrons get to judge the dishes based on taste, creativity, and presentation and cast their votes via text message.
