Yesterday I attended the infamous Applefest. While walking through The Commons and seeing all the booths full of varieties of edible forms an apple can come in. From candy apples to apple cider donuts and even apple infused macaroni and cheese it was amazing to see how one fruit could be eaten in many ways. Going on Saturday was an experience within itself. The day was beautiful, and the locals and students took advantage of it, meaning that it was very crowded. One booth I stopped by was full of a variety of apples picked from a local orchard, and it took around ten minutes to get close to it. One thing that I learned was that Applefest was an event created by apple growers and to help bring business to the Ithaca Commons. I also learned that each year the apple growers compete to create the newest best selling apple flavor. One of the best sellers in a previous year was an apple that was apple mango flavored. Along with Applefest, there was also a street designated for craft booths. The craft booth street was full of local businesses and artists who use the event to advertise and sell their products. Overall Applefest was incredible, and I could see myself going back next year!
