I met with Bob Bline. He was really looking forward to this year's cherry season. He has worked hard with his stores to increase both Red and Rainier cherry sales. He feels that the sales generated in July and August are so great that they are a must to promote and keep the displays turning. He said that the Rainier's flavor last year wasn't as good as in the past. He thought the Reds gained in flavor and Rainiers lost some.
