The AppleFest committee is looking for up and coming artists who are waiting to be discovered. New for this year, AppleFest is included in the Art Crawl on the Oct. 20 to 22 weekend at Coopers Green Park. This is a great way to display your talents to the community. If you are a musician who would like to pick and grin in the Art Crawl’s pickin’ parlour, Contact Katie at [email protected]
