Apple Fest to go on as planned
The village of Gays Mills has announced that its Apple Festival celebration will be held as scheduled, despite recent flooding in the area.
Village President Harry Heisz said the 60th Annual Apple Festival will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28-30.
“We’re confident that the streets and other grounds will be free of flood waters and cleaned up before the end of the month,” he said. “We’ve had tremendous help from many volunteers, organizations, village staff and other government agencies, and feel we’re in good shape for the festival.”
Apple Fest consists of many food stands, an arts and crafts show, a huge flea market, carnival rides, music, a run-walk, tournaments and the Apple Fest parade on Sunday.
