OXFORD – It’s almost time for the Oxford AppleFest and the St. Paul’s Planning Committee has been hard at work to make this the best year ever! This will be the twenty-eighth annual Apple Fest and it will be held on Saturday, October 20. What’s new? Longer hours for one thing: from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., but that’s not all; this is an amped-up AppleFest, and you could get involved too!

Amidst all the juicy crisp apples, cider, and pies, fun plans are being made for a new Kids’ Activities Tent outside in front of the Episcopal Parish House. There will be a good old-fashioned bean bag toss game and other simple sports with little prizes for every little one! In addition, there will be a creative space for young Picassos to pumpkin paint, and for those who want to be decorated… face painting.

They’ll have the regular raffle for a stunning handmade quilt made by the Episcopal Church Women’s group members, but there will be more to vie for.
