This year marks the 46th Apple Harvest Festival in Southington, CT, which will start this Friday ... and it will be the biggest one yet! Over 55 vendors will make their appearance known in the Apple Harvest Festival in Southington CT, in an event that will see a wide variety of events going on, from art samples to electric cars and even a booth rented by the National Rifle Association.
The Apple Harvest Festival in Southington CT is a long-standing tradition in the town, dating as far back as 1969. It's an effort to bring together local businesses in the town and surrounding cities, and besides its outreach to local entrepreneurs, it's always full of fun events for people of all ages, featuring things like unique recipes and foods by the Boy Scouts, the Southington Rotary Chapter, local churches and even the Fire and Police Departments of the town. The Apple Harvest Festival in Southington CT is one of the best-known food festivals in the United States.
This year, the Apple Harvest Festival in Southington CT will feature a few surprises, reports Connecticut news site My Record Journal. The most shocking event will be the appearance of an NRA booth, specially considering it's a traditionally family-oriented event. The event's authorities seem to be uninformed about what will be the role of the NRA in the Apple Harvest Festival in Southington CT: the festival's coordinator, Jim Champagne, said he's not too sure what the NRA will be offering but he said it'd be informational only; meanwhile, Chris Palmieri, a festival committee co-chairman (and Town Council Democrat) said that it appeared the association wanted to talk about gun safety.
Be that as it may, that will only be one of the things going on in the festival. Since 2009, a local non-profit organization called Southington Community Cultural Arts introduced Harvest the Arts, which brings arts to the festival by showing the work of local artists. Also, this marks the first year that the festival features car companies that will allow visitors to test drive: on the first weekend of the event, it'll be Fiat Motors; on the second, Ford Motor Company!
