Road Apple Roulette Raffle

Saturday, May 3, 2025 @ 11:00 am along Stemilt Grand Parade Route

Rotarians are currently selling raffle tickets for $5 each. Tickets can be purchased by any Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary member!

Win Up to $10,000 with the Road Apple Roulette Raffle!

Purchase your $5 raffle ticket and take your best guess where the horses will leave their “road apples” during the Stemilt Grand Parade for a chance to win up to $10,000!

Where to Buy Tickets:

  1. Memorial Park during the Food Festival (11 AM – 7 PM daily) at the Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Booth

  2. Apple Blossom All Service Club Luncheon

  3. Beer Garden

    Contact info@wenatcheesunriserotary.org or (503) 866-5599 with any questions.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. When the selected group of horses reaches the designated area, the section that receives the first "road apple" will be declared the winning section.

  2. From that section, one lucky winner will be drawn to receive the $10,000 grand prize!

  3. Additionally, four $500 prizes will be awarded—one for each of the other four sections.

  4. Rotary’s Equine Sanitation Team will follow the horses to ensure accuracy and keep the parade route clean.

  5. Proceeds support local community charities.

RULES OF THE ROAD

  1. 5 Sections will be marked on the Grand Parade route near Memorial Park, between the red crosswalk and Chelan Ave.

  2. When the “to be determined” group of horses reach the sections area they will be observed for the first horse droppings to hit the road.

  3. The section that has the first horse droppings will be declared the Grand Prize eligible section.

  4. Every raffle ticket sold for the “eligible” section will be placed into a receptacle.

  5. One raffle ticket will be drawn for the Grand Prize of $10,000.00 (IRS taxes will be withheld).

  6. A secondary drawing will take place for each of the four losing sections. One raffle ticket will be drawn from each losing section, and each of the four ticket holders will win $500.00.

  7. If no horse droppings land in any of the designated sections, we will randomly draw a number from 1 to 5, and that number will determine the Grand Prize “eligible section”.

REMINDER — NO DOGS in the Park APRIL 24-MAY 4, 2025 (City Ordinance, Wenatchee Municipal Code 5.28.090)

Towards Zero Waste Apple Blossom

The Towards Zero Waste Apple Blossom project began in 2023 when local Rotarians wanted to try to bring recycling and composting to the Festival. Reducing our GHG emissions helps promote the stable climate upon which our orchard industry depends. Reducing food waste has been identified as one the most impactful actions we can take to reduce those emissions.  

Rotarians teamed up with local commercial composter, Winton Mfg., and the Festival’s garbage contractor, WM, as well as fellow non-profits Sustainable NCW and Waste Loop. Young Life is in charge of garbage collection during the Festival and their leadership joined the team as well. 

München Haus and Icicle Brewing stepped up to sponsor the purchase of compostable cups for the beer garden. Empty bottles were collected and transported to Chelan Rotary’s 911 Glass Rescue for repurposing. All vendors were asked to recycle cardboard, and volunteers collected mixed recycling and organic waste on Youth Day. 

The group’s initial attempt at diverting reusable and recyclable materials from the landfill resulted in a 50% drop in garbage volume from the previous year, and received the Washington Festival and Events Association Pacific NW Green Program Award.

This year the group hopes to do even more. Food fair vendors will have the opportunity to compost their organic waste, and volunteers will staff composting/recycling stations on multiple days. München Haus has once again stepped up to sponsor compostable cups and this year will be joined by Umpqua Bank. We are grateful for the sponsorship of Winton Mfg. Compost Works and WM as well. 

Thank you for your help in working Towards a Zero Waste Apple Blossom to help assure we always have apple blossoms to celebrate!

We are VERY proud of our Royalty Program! Each year, seniors in the Wenatchee and Eastmont School Districts have an opportunity to run for Apple Blossom Royalty.

After narrowing the group of applicants down to 10, those Candidates compete in the Royalty Selection Pageant in February. Through a rigorous Judging Process (Panel Interview, One-On-One Interview, prepared Speech and Impromptu Question), 5 out-of-town Judges choose a Queen and two Princesses to reign over the Apple Blossom Festival. The Queen receives a $10,000 Scholarship, provided by the Wenatchee Applarians, and each Princess receives a $5,000 Scholarship. The remaining seven Candidates receive $1,000 each. Six local businesses generously donate an additional $4,000 in Scholarships.

Over $31,000 is given out in Scholarships on Pageant Night. The Royalty represents the Festival and our Valley as they make over 180 appearances between February and May as well as out-of-town Festivals during the summer.

Cashmere Valley Bank has supported the Apple Blossom Festival for over 25 years and have committed to sponsoring our Pageant through 2026 - we are SO thankful for their support!
