Applewood Autumn Fair
We are excited to announce that the Applewood Autumn Fair will be held on October 14 at Central Park. This year’s fair will feature over 50 local food vendors, a craft market, live performances, and activities for both children and adults alike. Last year, the event attracted approximately 9,000 visitors, and we expect even more this year.
One highlight is the regional cider tasting, where visitors can sample beverages made by farmers from the surrounding region. Visitors will also enjoy a cooking competition, with prizes awarded to whoever creates the most original dish using apples as the main ingredient.
All proceeds from the fair will go toward raising funds for the new community center, which is currently under renovation.
If you have questions, please contact our event coordinator, Ms. Claire Thompson, at events@applewoodfair.org.
