Glenn Wilson will be making his famous apple butter the old-fashioned way, slow simmered in a 130+ year old copper pot over an open fire. Take a turn stirring with the long-handled paddle and take home a fresh jar.

Enjoy demonstrations and find unique, handcrafted work and gifts by over artisans and crafts people. Delicious local food and drink and music all day.

Arrive early, bring a blanket or lawn chair for the music and stay all day so you don’t miss out!
