Apple Fest 2010

If you missed the 64th Apple
Festival in Hendersonville, you
missed one heck of a hoe-down.
Everything from rubber band
guns to giant turkey legs were on
display throughout the main street in
Hendersonville this weekend.
Local vendor Holly Spinner saidof
the Apple Festival, “It’s a great way
to get our farms name out there, and
meet some pretty amazing people at
the same time.” But I can assure you
that Holly wasn’t the only one who
was having a great time. Honestly,
how many other places in America
can you walk down the street listen
to street preachers rant about hell
'A Taste of Transylvania'
while gnawing on a half pound
turkey leg?
The Apple Festival is such an
amazing experience that it brings
back former students. Alumnus
Zach Hazen was seen perusing the
event, and when asked what made
him return Hazen responded, “The
food man, its all about the food and
the women.”
If you were unable to attend this
year’s Apple Festival, hopefully
you will be able to make it next
year, seeing as it’s an annual event
festival. If you are despairing over
a lost opportunity to get out of
Brevard, have no fear: the Mountain
State Fair is in town and it opens
today. So get out there and have
some fun!
