Shenandoah Valley Apple Harvest Festival

From Shenandoah Valley Apple Harvest Festival Website:

The Rotary Club of Winchester's 42nd Shenandoah Valley Apple Harvest Festival will be held Saturday, September 16th & Sunday September 17th, 2017 at the Frederick County Fairgrounds (just north of Winchester on Rt. 11) over a beautiful autumn weekend where this festival is all about the apple!

The event will have an estimated 7,000 people in attendance, enjoying the works of nearly 150 Artisans & Crafters. Items for sale are expected to include fine pencil drawings, hand spun Alpaca wool, hand-made jewelry and hand-blown glass, just to list a few.

The Kids Zone with Inflatables and face painting will be a busy place with members from the John Handley High School Interact Club manning the inflatables and complimentary facing painting.
