Apple Fest Apple Pies!

With the chill in the air and the changing color of the leaves, we start to think about Apple Fest. This is a time when the fairboard gets to work along with various volunteers to make around 500 apple pies to be sold at Apple Fest. The volunteers come in all ages, they just have to be willing to help.
