This past weekend it was time to head to Apple Harvest Festival in Adams County. I already knew it was important to get there early so that you did not sit in traffic, but the first day the Festival was open the traffic was toooooo much at 8:30 AM!! A friend from back home was in for a visit and I was really thankful she was willing to get up so early for this event. When we arrived, we were actually in the second field for parking; and even that was already half full. The weather probably had a lot to do with it this time, as the weather report for Sunday was terrible so most people came on Saturday. The picture of the crowd really does not do it justice. In a lot of the craft barns the crowds were so heavy that you didn't dare try to switch directions or cross over to a both on the other side or you would get caught up in the movement of the people and be pushed in a totally different direction.
Displayed below are some of the crafts we saw for sale. The one on the right is actually a painting of an oil "on a feather"!
Despite the crowds at this event, it really was worthwhile. And, we enjoyed a really good chicken dinner before leaving. After several hours of wandering the fair we were both way too tired to even try to get to the bus for the free ride through the orchards.
This was my second year attending this festival that takes place during the first two weekends in October, and would highly recommend it to folks.
