Applefest 2009
Beginning simply with pie baking and pie
eating competitions in 1982, Franklin's
Applefest now draws numerous crowds
for the popular 5K Race down Liberty St.
(above), and the dozens of crafters and
food vendors that fill the city's two
beautiful downtown parks.
Live music was featured throughout the
three-day event, and activities for
children were offered at Bandstand Park.
