Enjoying the Boxford Apple Festival

On Sunday, September 21^st, 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 19^th 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.
