Meet the Jackson County Apple Growers, ask questions, and experience firsthand how they do their job. Try your hand at the old-fashioned apple press to see how it was done not so long ago, and taste-test different varieties of apples to see which one is your favorite. Also visiting with guests will be local beekeepers with information on how important bees are to apple tree pollination.
On Thursday night, a special apple peeling demonstration with Champion Apple Peelers will be presented.
