Apple Harvest Festival

The annual Apple Harvest Festival was held last weekend in Ithaca, NY. We made the long, ten minute journey to the Commons for the celebration. Check out Julia with Nora, Frank and Mary's 4 month old, in the picture to the right.

One vendor offered "Hot Cider" without the "Hot." Apparently, the power to his heater was sporadic. But, rather than remove the false advertising, he shared the information while you pulled out your cash. No surprise--we all know that people in Ithaca are a different breed!

Another guy was using a chainsaw to carve sculptures into logs. One of his interesting pieces is pictured to the right. In addition, I have included a picture of "Jason" practicing his art, but that doesn't really fit well into this short note. Maybe he'll creep in at a later date, but probably not!

The weather was a little cool, and the sky was not really clear. A couple of pints of beer cured that ailment. By the way, the Ithaca Ale House is a great place to grab a beer. They have quite a large selection of beers on tap, and they seem to do a great job of rotating beers for the different seasons.
