Blossomland   Any good references to use for the Blossomland name I thought that the one I provided httpwwwhartfordmichigancomhartfordhistoryPreciousPearlsBlossomSonghtm didnt use synthesis  selected quotes  That the Michigan Blossom Week song extolling the beauties of blossom land which was broadcasted from three Chicago radio stations and from Berrien Springs and was sung at the blossom pageant at Benton Harbor last week was written by a Hartford woman was not known to many local people who listened in Hartford is in Van Buren County listed as in Michiana Benton Harbor and Berrien Springs are in Berrien also listed  Music for the song was written by Mrs Nate Simpson of Keeler also in Van Buren County  lyrics Oh its blossom time in MichiganI can feel the lake breeze blowing Lake Michigan is not specified but its the only logical lake in this context  lake breezesmicroclimate is only a characteristic of the largest bodies of water and the largest in the area is Lake Michigan  Im not sure if I can find another source with as much detail I was hoping that thered be something in the history section of the Blossomtime Festival website but no mention but the term definitely has been perpetuated in the area and is part of its identity note Google search so it seems notable Perhaps my line of text can be restored with  after it rather than the original reference for now
