2013 Salt Island Apple Festival

Any of you who read Pomona, the NAFEX publication, have heard of the Salt Spring Island Apple Festival. In fact, they donated the beautiful poster to be raffled at our very first meeting. I confess I long to attend their event--maybe next year. Anyway, perhaps some of you will be in the northwest the end of this month so I'm posting this from Harry Burton's email.

 

 

The Salt Spring Island Apple Festival, Sunday, Sept 29th from 9 to 5 PM.   A CELEBRATION OF THE APPLE DIVERSITY OF SALT SPRING ISLAND, BC

Visit Apple Heaven while you are still alive.  Salt Spring grows over 350 varieties of apples ORGANICALLY.  We celebrate that at the Apple Festival--A great way to connect with APPLES.
