Apples are probably one of the more celebrated foods in the United States than anywhere else. It's juicy, crunchy, crispy, and tantalizing; not to mention aromatic and therapeutic. Apples have been used for medicine even a long time ago, making it the more-varied of the fruits in the plant kingdom.
Southington is celebrating the Apple Harvest Festival during the fall time, when the fruits are red, ripe and just right. It's a celebration of picking and of eating. Of course, it's not just about apples. There are tons of other foodstuff readily available for consumption. In the past years, they only had apples; but now, their menu extends to potatoes, beef, chicken dishes, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, lobster, onions and all the good stuff that fall has to offer.
The entertainment during the festival is also sufficient. It's mediocre at best, but it can very well be improved. There's the usual bands, contests and demos, but nothing really too gaudy or too unique. It's generic, if that would be the best term to use.
The events are something to look forward to however. As it is an apple festival, it would be safe to say that the tons of events would be apple-themed. Some of the events are: an apple pie baking contest, apple fritter eating contest, apple pie eating contest, a bed race, a gala contest, a granny apple eating contest, and a photo contest. I'm crossing my fingers that next year's event would be more packed with exciting events and the like.
Of course, even just with the premise of apples, wouldn't one be excited to try and experience this festival? After all, it does deal with apples, and even if there isn't much to show in there, food is still something that would bring people from different places closer.
