OXFORD – The fall chill is in the air and that means it’s time for apples and the Oxford AppleFest. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will be holding its 27th Annual Apple Fest on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. You’ll see ‘delicious’ apple motifs everywhere amidst bushels of juicy, crisp, fresh apples; cider; pies and more. And new this year, everybody’s favorite, old-fashioned apple crisp with whipped cream will be served in the St. Paul’s Cantina!

The Episcopal Church Women’s group members work especially hard to make each Festival the ‘sweetest’! Visit the Parish House, at 32 Main Street, where there will be apples, apples, apples ... Gayla, Granny Smith, Cortland, and Macintosh. Enjoy door prizes, raffles, arts, crafts, books (and lots of them), baked goods, and novelty items. Shoppers can peruse the handmade ornaments, “precious particulars,” floral arrangements and more.

Enjoy snacks or lunch, while you contemplate holiday gifts ideas, in St. Paul’s Cantina which will be offering delicious homemade soups, rolls, sweet breads, donuts, tea, coffee and sweet apple cider. And don’t forget to save some room for the homemade apple crisp! Shop for all sorts of sweet goodies and apple specialties like homemade candies, cookies, cakes, pies and muffins, and naturally, a variety of apples and cider for sale too. Admission is free.
