Festival Vanity Plate Update

​On behalf of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival®, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for submitting your preorder for our exclusive vanity license plate. Your support brings us one step closer to making this unique initiative a reality!
 
As I am sure you are aware, we had to have a minimum preorder amount of 450 applications by the beginning of January.  Unfortunately, we did not meet the minimum applications for the General Assembly to consider our request for vanity plates during their 2025 session. However, the DMV is allowing us to continue to accept applications with the hope that we collect the minimum number for the 2026 General Assembly session next year. 
 
We are reaching out to confirm your preference regarding your application. Please let us know if you would like to keep your application active or request a refund. Kindly respond by February 3, 2025, by either calling us at (540) 662-3863 or emailing 
btaylor@thebloom.com.  
 
Thank you once again for your enthusiasm and support for the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival®. Together, we can continue to celebrate the spirit of our community and strive toward achieving this exciting milestone.
