Many attractions drew people out to the 84th annual National Cherry Festival.

The eight day festival kicked off Saturday. People enjoyed all sorts of food, games and entertainment. Festival organizers say many people came in from out-of-town and out-of-state to enjoy the festivities. They say the events help raise awareness of the state's agricultural importance to the area, and it's a tradition many look forward to every year.

The National Cherry Festival runs until Saturday, July 10, 2010.
