Enjoying the Boxford Apple Festival
On Sunday, September 21st, I was able to once
again participate in the Town of Boxford’s annual Apple Festival. The town’s festival, which has now become a
50-year tradition, featured booths along Elm Street of local crafters, tours of
the 1760 Holyoke-French House, vintage automobiles, great food, wonderful
music, and apples harvested from area farms!
Hundreds of people turned out on the beautiful, sunny day and
caught a glimpse into the life of an agriculturally based community of centuries
past by witnessing demonstrations of blacksmithing, and cider pressings on an
authentic 19th century cider press.
The Boxford Apple Festival was a lot of fun, and was a great
success. I am grateful to have had the
chance to attend the event, and I want to congratulate the Boxford Historical Society
for all of their hard work. Through
their efforts, and the efforts of local community supporters, the Apple
Festival was a tremendous success.
