51st Annual Apple Butter Festival
It’s one of our favorite times of year. The smell of apple butter cooking in the street. Music coming from the park. Exploring the stunning art and craft booths. The sound of people calling for hogs (that thankfully never seem to show up) in the hog calling contest. Rooting on our favorite rubber duck in the duck race. Drooling over baked goods with blue ribbons. Clutching our raffle tickets and hoping to win the Apple Butter Quilt. Kids feeling like celebrities after marching in the parade. Gentlemen with beards groomed perfectly waiting to strut their faces off for the Beard Contest. There’s a feeling in the air during the Apple Butter Festival and we can’t wait to remind everyone just how special it really is.
