We moved to Lake Norman from Cazenovia NY in 2004. One of the highlights of the fall in the Syracuse area is the Lafayette Apple festival. There are rides, tons of crafts, food and the most important things of all....Apple Fritters and Apple Pies.
I have missed the Apple Festival, so we decided to go to the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival in North Wilkesboro this past Saturday. This festival was recommeded to me by some friends and it takes place the first Saturday in October every year.
The ride to get there is very nice and parking was easy. I was amazed at how big it was!! It filled all the main streets of the village and spilled over to the outskirts as well. There were so many people and vendors!
There were tons of crafts and great things to look at and buy. There was lots of food of all kinds We got a funnel cake and an apple dumpling with ice cream and shared them both. No calories in either of those! We alo bought some gifts and a large bag of apples.
Unfortunately, we got there in the early afternoon and all the pies were gone. We asked around and nobody knew of any apple fritters being sold. We did try something new to us....fried pies. They were great, but I still miss those Apple Fritters!
