Saturday turned out to be a great day for one of the biggest Festivals of Fruit yet.
The crowd turned up for Susan Dolan’s fascinating talk about her work researching fruit trees in the U.S. for the National Park service.
It was a good thing that we had a hand cranked cider press, thanks to Will, since we had no power at the Environmental Learning Center! As usual, there was lots of interest around the press and lots of people contributed their muscle to working it.

The pie contest was also a big hit, with 13 entries this year.

The crowd gathered to hear who the winners were and to line up for a taste.

Thanks to everyone who came and especially to all the folks from Friends of Piper’s Orchard who worked so hard to pull this day together! Until next year…
