Help the Food Bank and the Halfmoon Bay Apple Festival Oct. 17 and 18. Volunteers are needed to help process the wonderful apples that have been donated. Many hands make light work. Apples are still being accepted, as well as hardwood for the fire. Contact Katie at [email protected]
On Saturday, Oct. 10, at Coopers Green, volunteers are needed for applesauce making. Bring your paring knives, peelers, cutting boards, large stainless pots, and any other peeler-corer, food mill gizmos you have around. Guitars, ukuleles and fiddles are welcome. We’ll have the fire going and the big copper kettle ready. Time to meet your neighbours, and do some good work for a good cause.
