Apples: Take Your Pick

by Sandy Renshaw on September 25, 2008

If you’re looking for something to do this Saturday – and the weather is supposed to be wonderful – head on over to Woodbine, Iowa, for the 20th Annual Applefest. We had the pleasure of meeting three Woodbine residents who were staffing the Main Street Iowa Program booth at the Iowa State Fair. That’s how we found out about this event.

Here’s just a few of the activities, starting with a pancake breakfast at 6:30 a.m. in the REC building.

  • Classic Car Show
  • Quilt Show
  • Tractor Show
  • Doll Show
  • Merry Brook School & Geneological Society Tours
  • Depot & Caboose Tours
  • Flea Market
  • Craft Show
  • Archery 3-D & Fun Shoot
  • Children’s Activities
  • Apple Bake-Off
  • Entertainment

If you like to eat, how about apple pie, cider slush, chicken noodle dinner, onion blossoms, grilled ribeye sandwiches, homemade ice cream, and caramel apples? There will be apple vendors there, too. And there’s NO admission fee. (Flier)

Just for fun, here’s an apple picking guide for Woodbine.
