Grafton Apple Festival

[Russell Kanning]

So how does 9/20 sound?

it worked so good .... we are doing it again this year ... on the same day

sept 20th 2009

close

Sept 26th 2010

[Tom Ploszaj]

How long will the Harvest be? 
Sept. 15 is a full moon   
I will need to be in CT for Sept. 25th

[Russell Kanning]

the harvesting might be very short .... we only have crabapples this year ... and you know what those are good for? .... yea that's right crabapple fights ... or cider if you are not as violent as I am

[Russell Kanning]

leafpeeping will be allowed
some leaves are already changing

[Free libertarian]

 So if the normal crew from Grafton is there who else is thinking of coming?  Sounds like a friday night kick off and run thru Sunday thing...By then if the weather is about normal the evenings should be cooling off and a camp fire would be nice.  Perhaps with the apple theme and all we could serve hot apple cider or have a baked apple pie contest or not.  Or a pie eating contest or not.   Work with me here people, it IS an apple fest. 
   
Another chance for you city slickers to see the stars at night and plan your move to freedom, good excuse to check out  NH and Grafton.
Nothing like  a good camp fire and  philosophizing (sic) about life with other freedom oriented
folk...I'd be up for a low stakes poker game too if any card sharks are in need of my money.

[Lloyd Danforth]

OK, lets do all that

[Pat K]

Well you convinced me.

I wonder if there is any Apple Beer?

[Russell Kanning]

I like the idea of a apple dessert contest... all of us that want to eat can pay a couple of bucks and we get a vote ... then the winner gets the loot

[Russell Kanning]

a really cool old apple juicer showed up today from windsor ct.
the guy who brought it almost broke a smile
people will love it
there are some ripe crabapples already ... we have some leaves changing already and some apples falling

[Kat Kanning]

Festival needs an ad in the Grafton Gazette.

[Lloyd Danforth]

the evenings should be cooling off

Yeah!  Can't wait for the cool evenings

[Russell Kanning]

I need to get pictures of the old apple juicer.

[Lloyd Danforth]

We need some pieces of oak or maple. Some 3' x 4', some 2' x4' and some 1''board.

[Russell Kanning]

I met a guy yesterday that said he had one too ... I bet yours is cooler

[41mag]

Russell, I've got some apples here too.  Are you allowing non-Grafton apples?

Turning them into cider sounds good.  Who's bringing the yeast?
