History

The Apple Fest was initiated to be a friend and fundraiser. The Apple Fest was the "brain child" of Louise Lyons Novy, Corky Staats, and Mike Bernhardt. Staff may have changed, but the concept of a friend and fun raiser has not. Those attending the event enjoy the bike race, activities for children, apples, food, and entertainment.

The 15th annual Apple Festival took place on September 12, 2009. Corporate sponsor, Pump and Pantry, joined by Frontier Communications, Broadline Construction, Susquehanna County Probation, Mountain Side Fruit Market, and Montrose Produce helped to make the event a success.

New in 2009 was a local author’s corner. This year, five local authors presented their books.

The bike race results are in. Check them out at http://www.bikereg.com/Results/2009/09/12-Applefest-Road-Race.asp#
This year 84 riders participated in the two races through the scenic Endless Mountains. 83 of the racers were either from New York State or Pennsylvania with one rider from New Jersey.

Joan Webster, Chair, has decided to retire. We will miss her dedication and commitment. A new chair is being sought, if you have any ideas or wish to volunteer, contact us at 570-465-2880.
