On Sunday, October 15, Forest City Historical Association will be hosting the annual AppleFest in Forest City with the General Membership meeting at 10 a.m. Festivities begin at NOON. The "String-A- Longs" sponsored by the Sierra County Arts Council will bring our mountains alive with music. The Apple Dessert contest will be in full swing. Get out those favorite apple recipes. First, second and third prizes. Don't forget the homemade ice-cream that tops it all off. The winners are chosen fairly and squarely by the vote of the people. Local artisans will be on hand with their lovely handmade crafts. The top prize for the raffle is a handmade quilt donated by Robi Holmen. There will be other raffle prizes, also. If you have a prize that you would like to donate to the raffle, please let me (Cheryl) know. Sadly, the Stamp Mill will not be running this year. It is in need of some young, strong, able bodies to put it back in running order. Again, if you are interested please call. It's the time of year when the dogwoods begin their show of colors and the air is a bit nippy. Dress warmly and don't use GPS to find us. This is a family event that helps to support the Forest City Historical Association. If you have any questions, (or answers, for that matter) call Cheryl at 530-287-3133 or Birdsong at 530-913-1524. There are apples galore this year. The New and Improved Buckeye cider press made in the 1800's will be busy. This is a potluck event and we will have hotdogs available BUT we strongly encourage everyone to bring a favorite dish to share... it's just yummier that way.
