Slated for it's 24th consecutive year, the city of DOVER NEW HAMPSHIRE will play host to a fun fuilled day consisting of food, entertainment, vendors, crafts, and games.
Anyone looking for a slice of traditional Yankee life should reserve the first Saturday of October for Dover's annual Apple Harvest Day. This all-day family event draws approximately 25,000 visitors to the city's downtown each year.
The public is invited to enter the Apple Pie contest, so break out the family recipe. Pies will be judged on overall appearance and taste, and prizes in two divisions (adults, age 15 years and older; youth, age 5 to 14 years) will be awarded for first through fifth place. Pies should be dropped off at the Cocheco Falls Courtyard between 9 and 11 a.m. on Apple Harvest Day. Judging will take place promptly at 11 a.m. Registration forms can picked up at the chamber or at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop or on the WOKQ Morning Crew Web page at http://www.wokq.com .
The day will begin at 8 a.m. with the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast in the Cocheco Courtyard, and Dover Mayor Scott Myers will officially open the event at 8:45 a.m. The Dover High School Band under the direction of Michele Boulanger will kick off the day's entertainment at 9:15 a.m. on the Rotary Arts Pavilion Stage in Henry Law Park.
Apple Harvest Day is organized by the Greater Chamber of Commerce, which is a not-for-profit association of businesses, professionals, individuals, and organizations working together to advance the economic well-being of its members and the community.
