Thursday, 8:15 AM. 47 degrees, wind WSW, light to moderate. The sky is blue with high, thin white clouds. The barometer predicts rain, but I think not.
The preparations for Apple Fest are evident everywhere now, the “No Parking” signs in place; the stage is up on Rittenhouse Ave.; and the carnival rides and game booths are in place across from the Egg Toss. The chamber office is all abuzz with activity, and visitors and vendors are pouring into town.
As a local resident, I look at this with a mix of emotions: excitement, pride, maybe a bit of greed for the last tourist dollar of the season…but mainly with anticipation, first for the event, and then for it to be over for another year.
