Members of the Daffodil Festival's 2012 royal court visited the Pierce County Council yesterday to mark the 79th year that the festival has heralded the coming of spring to Pierce County.

Councilmembers heard from princesses representing 24 Pierce County high schools including Queen Sarah Karamoko of Henry Foss High School, who presented the Council with special Daffodil Festival pins and thanked them for their continued support.

This year's Grand Floral Street Parade is Saturday, April 14, beginning in Tacoma at 10:15 a.m. traveling to Puyallup, Sumner and Orting. This year's theme is "Don't Stop Believing."
