By Warren McNeil,
One of my favourite times of year is coming 10 days from now . If you like apples, pancakes, a smorgasboard, crafts, radio controlled boat races and pony rides then this will be a fun-filled day for you and the whole family. I have been to the ABC festival many times when I was young and as an adult. There is lots to see and do there. I love walking around looking at all of the activities and sampling the delicious food. There is also a friendly singing competition that is quite entertaining. Last year I saw an Elvis impersonator. I believe the weather was bad last year so I am really hoping that we get sun this year.
According to the official website, the ABC festival has been running for 25 years and was formed to help promote the local town of Wellesley. The event relies on local volunteers and is one of the most popular events in Waterloo County.
Proceeds of the festival help fund major projects. In the past the funds have been used to build an arena, buy parkland, build a ball diamond and soccer field and much more.
Wellesley is just a short 20-25 minute drive from K-W. Come checkout the Apple Butter And Cheese Festival on Sept 25, 2010
For a complete list of all of the activities, see http://www.wellesleyabcfestival.ca/events-and-activities
If you like Welleley and want to live there, check out our listing which is only 5 minutes from this lovely town. Be sure to view the video tour!
