Under the direction of the Carlton Trail Ag Society, the event grew over the years to a full-weekend event dubbed the Bruno Cherry Festival, featuring various local-and-beyond bands, all-day food service including a pancake breakfast and turkey supper, trade show, children's programme and more, with attendance peaking in 2009 at about 3,000 people. 
The success of the first Cherry Sunday provided the inspiration for the community to make the festival an annual event and The Carlton Trail Agricultural Society was formed. One of the goals of the Ag. Society, in organizing the festival, was to promote and celebrate the new sour cherry varieties. The festival also provided opportunities for commercial producers and backyard growers to highlight their products. With a $15,000 grant from the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibitors, planning for the 2004 Bruno Cherry Festival shifted into high gear.
Under the leadership of Sister Maureen Maier, the Ursuline Sisters continued to operate the facility as the Prairie Ursuline Centre. During this time an additional 11,000 sour cherry trees were planted on a portion of the 65 acres of land on the Ursuline grounds. In 2007, the property was sold to another Catholic group who founded St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission in the facility. This was a good fit for the Sisters as it furthered their legacy of faith formation by passing the property on to a group that held similar religious and philosophical beliefs. It kept the property viable as an important physical and economic landmark in the community of Bruno. Bruno Cherry Sunday |

The Bruno Cherry Sunday / Bruno Cherry Festival has been hosted on the St. Therese Institute (formerly Prairie Ursuline Centre) grounds since the event's inception. St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission began operating the event directly in 2012, taking over the event managment from the Carlton Trail Ag Society.
Come and celebrate, and enjoy the sweet-and-tart sour cherry of the prairies!
