Applefest

At the beginning of October each year, everyone flocks to Applefest in Bayfield, Wisconsin. We had not been to Applefest in the past, but thought we would check it out with our friends Pete and Mehgan.


We first went into town to check out the booths. I snapped a shot of this flower along the way.


It was a good day to see the sailboats since they were all in the harbor due to the rain.


The fire department was on hand to display their shiny red truck, perfect for a photo.

Our friends brought their daughter along. She looked cute donning her pink raincoat!

This carmel apple pie is supposedly THE food item to get at Applefest. Pat and I could barely finish a piece together. Very tasty!

Neat truck from one of the nearby orchards.

Yum!

One storefront had a series of three apple signs that were cute.

I have never seen fudge covered apples before, but they must be good since they involve chocolate!

By this point, I had enough of the crowd and was ready to go to the orchard.

On the way back to the car we passed one of the several historic bed and breakfasts that Bayfield is known for. The architecture of several of the buildings in town makes me think of Mackinac Island.....without the island part, of course.

When we finally reached the apple orchard, photo opportunities of apples abounded. This was one time I was actually happy there was a little rain since it made the apples look extra juicy and tasty!

There are several orchard farms in the area. This particular one had a neat old barn.

The orchard offered pony rides, which our friends' daughter couldn't pass up.

A view from the hay loft of the barn.

One last view of an apple before heading home to dry out.
