An Apple A Day…
Orchard Park Shopping Center is living up to its name this weekend. The Canadian shopping center is providing a last-minute venue for the BC Orchard Industry Museum’s annual Apple Festival.
Apple tasting is the main event. Popular apple varieties like Fuji and Gala will be on hand, as will experimental and heirloom varieties. Heirloom apples are a part of orchard history – varieties that have been abandoned by commercial markets, but once grew widely.
An Apple Festival wouldn’t be complete without some traditional entertainment: the Brightside Cloggers and BC Old Time Fiddlers will be performing for the crowds. And apple-themed craft workshops will be offered for the little ones.
