Fall is my favorite time of year. The bees are dying, the leaves are changing colors, and everywhere you go, you see apples and pumpkins! What's not to love?
My friend Allie and her daughter, LP, came too. We had a blast catching up and watching people make apple cider the old fashioned way. The festival had food trucks, a miniature animal farm with donkeys and llamas, an apple stand filled with apple butter, apple cider and of course a plethora of apples to buy.
The sad thing was by the time we got there, the food trucks were out of apple-related items. I wanted to try the apple fries, but that truck was out of apples! How are you out of apples when there is an apple stand on the other side of the festival? AND there are at least two grocery stores within a 5-minute drive. SIGH! That was disappointing, but we did get to have apple cider and kettle corn (a festival staple).
There was also a tractor pull...which I still don't understand the point of. Basically, it looked like a tractor pulling something heavy. Was there a timer or were they supposed to go a certain distance? I have NO CLUE.
Overall, it was a fun day, minus the bees that kept bothering us. Allie is allergic and I HATE THEM WITH A VENGENCE. So the both of us did our best to stay out of their way, but when you're surrounded by apples and drinking apple cider...they tend to follow you.
Maybe next year, we will get there earlier and eat all the apple-related things to our heart's content.
