Plans are cooking for Oxford’s 28th Annual AppleFest

OXFORD – It’s almost time for the Oxford AppleFest and the St. Paul’s Planning Committee has been hard at work to make this the best year ever! This will be the twenty-eighth annual Apple Fest and it will be held on Saturday, October 20. What’s new? Longer hours for one thing: from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., but that’s not all; this is an amped-up AppleFest, and you could get involved too!
Amidst all the juicy crisp apples, cider, and pies, fun plans are being made for a new Kids’ Activities Tent outside in front of the Episcopal Parish House. There will be a good old-fashioned bean bag toss game and other simple sports with little prizes for every little one! In addition, there will be a creative space for young Picassos to pumpkin paint, and for those who want to be decorated… face painting.
They’ll have the regular raffle for a stunning handmade quilt made by the Episcopal Church Women’s group members, but there will be more to vie for.
They’re having a new Chinese Auction as well. Gift baskets of locally donated items and gift certificates will be offered. Some of the fantastic items are: a wine and cheese basket; a basket of pretty towels and fragrant soaps; a hand carved soapstone chess set; and a handmade wooden Adirondack chair made by Jim Johnson! Drawings will be held at 3 p.m.
Admission is still free!
The next St. Paul’s Planning Session will be tonight at 7 p.m., in the Church Rectory. Donations of basket items or volunteers (for before, during or after AppleFest) are needed. All are welcome to come to the meeting even just to share your ideas.
Fundraising events like the AppleFest and the new once monthly “First Saturday Spaghetti and Meatball Dinner” (with a 50-50 raffle) are sponsored by St. Paul’s. They help to keep the Parish House open and available for such functions as the Monday night Soup Kitchen suppers where all are welcome to the free meal each week. Support from the general community is most welcome.
