Great Weather Brings Crowd for the Annual Apple Festival

This past weekend the streets of downtown were crowded with people enjoying the annual Lincolnton Apple Festival. This years Apple Festival was a huge success with fall-like weather, and lots of great food, crafts, and activities.

Attendees shopped various apparel, craft, and merchandise booths set up along Main Street and enjoyed lots of food vendors ranging from great Bar-B-Que to Mexican cuisine. The highlight of the festival was the great NC Apples! Apple pies and fritters were gone within a few hours of the event and there was a shortage of apples toward the end.

During the event kids enjoyed Limbo and Hula-Hoop contests at the Downtown Development Association booth. Hula-Hoop was the most popular contest. There were great hula-hoppers with hula-hooping times over 10 minutes! A special thanks to Melamoose and 36^th Street Bakery for donating prizes for the winning contestants. Another big demand at the DDA booth was free balloons!
