36th Annual Apple Country Fair

From 36th Annual Apple Country Fair Website:

Showcasing the work of more than 70 local crafters, the 36th Apple Country Fair will be held on the Brookfield Town Common, Saturday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Fair also will feature live music, childrens games, baked goods, raffles and an apple pie contest all to benefit the Brookfield Community Club, a charitable organization that makes grants to enrich community life.

Fairgoers can browse and buy hand-knit sweaters and blankets, carved wooden bowls and dcor, beaded jewelry, specialty soaps and lotions, hand-crafted toys, locally-produced honey and more.

Children will enjoy games and prizes, face-painting, sand art and a moon bounce. The guild of Masons in North Brookfield will offer concessions throughout the day. The bake table will tempt with homemade fudge, candied apples, applesauce, cookies, brownies and, of course, pie.

A raffle will offer chances to win prizes including the community-stitched quilt, family passes to local museums and attractions, and gift certificates to local restaurants and stores. Tickets will be available at the Fair and through the summer at the Merrick Public Library and from Community Club members. Entries for the apple pie contest will be accepted at Town Hall until 10:00 a.m. the day of the Fair. Judging categories are for children under 12, ages 13-19, and adults ages 20 and older.
