Applefest 2009 in Franklin, Pennsylvania Starts in October

The Best 3 Days of the Year in Franklin, Pennsylvania

The breath taking, Victorian town of Franklin, Pennsylvania will be holding it's annual "Applefest" on October 2, 3, and 4th 2009. Each year I take my family down to Fountain Park, located on Liberty Street in Franklin, Pennsylvania, to shop the 300+ vendors, and visit the Kids' Korner. We get to admire all the beautiful classics and rare antiques in the car show, and eat, eat, eat. There will be a variety of different foods, baking contests, and activities for all ages.

This year, one lucky couple will win an "Appley Ever After" all expense paid wedding on Liberty Street, in downtown Franklin, Pennsylvania. I personally can't wait to see who wins. Johnny Appleseed will be stopping in for a visit, the Venango County Draft Horse and Pony Association will hold their Wagon Rides, and Applefest just wouldn't be Applefest without the Apple Pie Eating Contest.

Many of the local residence of Franklin, Pennsylvania, bring their beautifully hand made items to sell at the Arts and Crafts Extravaganza.
