- Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce
After I wrote a post of An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away at LV, I decided to head out to the Apple Festival that afternoon. Yesterday, the weather was perfect, it was sunny and cool, you can say that it’s the typical day for September in this area, the weather has been real nice lately. It was a great turn out, as many people as last year, apparently the slumber economy in this area didn’t damp peoples spirit.

The Apple Festival is held at town square on Main Street, and it appears that most small towns in America have Main Street. This is something that I look forward to every year, and what I like best is the apple, and these apples are grown locally, so the most widely-grown apples here are Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty and Galas, but sadly no Fuji apple, which is my favorite.

I like to visit the street fair of arts and crafts venues, but I didn’t buy any this year.

Interesting bike venue and bike shop, I just wrote a post about 11 Most Bike Friendly Cities in the World.

You’d think it was a country music, but not this year, it’s a rock band and they’re extremely talented musicians.

I’ve never seen a bookmobile here before in the US, this one looks antique. According to Wikipedia, a bookmobile is a large vehicle designed for use as a library. They are designed to hold books on shelves so that when the vehicle is parked the books can be accessed by readers. They usually have sufficient space that people can also sit and read books inside them. Mobile libraries are often used to provide library services to villages and city suburbs without library buildings. They also service those who have difficulty accessing libraries, with retirement homes being common stops. They may also carry other information or computer equipment, such as might be found in a library. Some libraries also use their bookmobiles to deliver materials, such as audio books and large print novels, to homebound patrons who don’t have anyone to go to the library for them.

Miss little sunshine, my niece, she had a great time. She got to ride on this ferries wheel, it made me nervous that it’s so small, and the line was extremely long.


Rainbow hair and face painting are very popular amongst kids and teenagers, especially at County Fair or Apple Festival.

We purchased our apples last because it’s heavy, and I do have to say that by the time I got to my dad’s van, my arms are sore. They were selling it for $8 per bag, or $14 for 2 bags, I couldn’t pass up on the $2 discount, so I purchased 2 bags, now I have apple galore.

Cool festival. I understand the apple crop here is the best in years. We have a couple of festivals up state in the apple growing areas. It’s a little to warm for them to flourish around where I live.
I really like the fall festivals where the air is cool and crisp. All the sights and smells of festival food are so inviting.
By the way, my sister was once a librarian and actually drove a Bookmobile a couple of days a week. She loved visiting the places that you describe, the retirement homes and the shut-ins. And they were always excited to see her and the Bookmobile each week.

Hi Baker, I didn’t realize that the Bookmobile exists in the US, I only heard about it in Laos, but after doing more research, it does make sense.
I went after lunch, so I didn’t get to eat anything, but there were plenty of food there.
mozemoua, it’s fun and I think I want to visit the apple orchard now, my parents used to take us when we were little.
