Why is there a Cherry Pie Festival Held in Loveland, Colorado?

In the 1920's Loveland was the home of the largest cherry orchard to the west of the Mississippi River. Each year the city was reported to have produced over $1 million in cherries!

Today, the city of Loveland still honors its history of cherry production by holding an annual cherry pie festival presented by the Loveland Museum.
