Apple Day
Our semi-annual Apple Day, a harvest festival featuring live music, cider making, traditional crafts, and hay rides is held in the fall every other year on the grounds of the historic Applegate House. Guided tours of the house are offered throughout the day.
Food offerings usually include apple cider, apple pies with ice cream, apple and cheese sandwiches, apple sausages with coleslaw, and espresso drinks. House tours are led by Susan and Shannon Applegate, dressed as and in the character of two maiden aunts, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Irene, who lived in the house for many years.
John Brown of Forest Trails Ranch is usually on hand to offer hay rides, and local artisans demonstrate a variety of pioneer and native skills. We always press cider, offering it by the glass or by the jug. Music with an old-time flavor keeps things lively throughout the day.
