Program Description
Event Details
Families are invited to join us for a visit with the Traverse City National Cherry Festival Queen, Olivia Coolman, in celebration of Valentine's Day. There will be Valentine-themed childrens stories, a meet 'n greet with Queen Olivia, and crafts to round out the program (including decorating your own heart-shaped cookie, while supplies last).
Olivia Coolman is the 2022-2023 National Cherry Queen. She is the 23-year-old daughter of Matt and Melissa Coolman of Traverse City. She is a 2017 graduate of Traverse City West Senior High School. Olivia earned her bachelors of arts degree in dance and exercise science from Hope College in 2021 and is currently enrolled in the Grand Valley State University Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program. She looks forward to pursuing a career in Physical Therapy with an emphasis on pediatrics.
Olivia is humbled and honored to represent the National Cherry Festival as the National Cherry Queen, to learn more about the cherry industry, and to be a tireless and passionate ambassador and advocate for the industry and community she loves.
