Harvest Festival

2013-09-07 Harvest Festival, skördefest

On Saturday, the town celebrated its annual Harvest Festival. Including free apple pie served in the theatre lobby (above).

Downstairs there were pomologists at work, helping people to determine what kind of apples it is they have growing in their gardens.

Outdoors there were all sorts of things going on.

I took refuge inside the church for a while, listening to organ music.

This could also have been for…
FMTSO – Taste Of  {Your Town}
… except the photos weren’t taken until Saturday, and I was not able to post them until today (too late).

    Looks like a nice day out for the Harvest Festival, and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

  5. How are you feeling? Wow, more of your cool sculptures! I love that huge exclamation mark, is it new? And is that a wood Mary and Jesus? We have something like this this too, it is called "Apple Days".

  7. That looks like a great day - I would have loved to have a stroll around, look at all that was going on, taste the apple pie and watch the pomologist at work, listen to the music and enjoy the sunshine!

  9. A pomologist? Should have worked that out from the Latin but I used French instead: the association of the apples and the word. Silly me. I loved the simplicity of the statue of the Virgin and Child.
