The National Apple Festival

Fi tasting an apple. Delicious!
 Today (6 October) we visited The National Apple Festival at a town called Biglerville (near Gettysburg) - a 45 minute drive from Carlisle.  It was similar to a Tenterfield or Murgon Show but without the rides. There were lots of craft and food stalls and anything and everything to do with Apples!.  I enjoyed a non-Alcoholic Apple Daiquiri! The Festival provided us with an insight of rural America - we stood out from the majority!
