JINNY WILT
Adams Co. Correspondent
ARENDTSVILLE (Adams
Co.) The record-breaking
crowd was happy and in a
spending mood, making the ven
dors at the 35th Annual
National Apple Harvest Festival
here smile.
Also smiling were sponsors of
the event, the Upper Adams
Jaycees and their spokeswoman
Dawn Bodenberg, who said that
each individual was not counted,
but festival admissions paid
showed that all previous atten
dance records had been broken.
“People are happy and buying
all kinds of things, including
Christmas gifts,” Bodenberg
said. Three-hundred craft people
and 35 food vendors were set up
on the grounds of the South
Mountain Fairgrounds.
She noted that the number of
vendors was about the same as
last year, although there were
some who had attended in the
past who dropped out when the
fee to take part m the festival
was raised this year, but others
took their places
The festival was Oct 2-3 and
9 10. and next yeai is scheduled
Oct 7-8 and 14-15

Some of the highlights ol the
tom included
•The International Apple
Institute notes that th>‘ apple

bei of the lose fanulv
• Reference to the appJe is
found in ancient writings, Tom
China, Egypt, and Babylon
• Roman legions carried
apples through Europe because
of their “keeping" quality
• Grafting young apple trees
is the way apples are produced.
Planting a Red Delicious apple
seed will not do it.
•The first apples grown in
America were cultivated in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony.
• Today, apples grow in 35
states that have a winter sea
son. Apple trees must have 30 to
60 days of cold weather to shed
their leaves and remain dor
mant.
•Of the 2,500 varieties
grown in the United States, only
about 20 kind are grown in
Adams County because of the
ideal conditions of weather,
rolling hillsides, and well
drained soils.
• More than 20,000 acres of
Adams County land is planted
in orchards and half of that is in
apples. Between six and eight
million bushels of apples are
produced each year in Adams
County.
Vendors attend the festival
from states throughout the Mid-
Atlantic and Northeast.
On the outer edge of the Wolf
parking lot those who did not
wish to carry heavy bags of
apples through the festival
grounds were able to stop bv the
Festival A Celebration Of Apples
Gettysburg Optimist Club stand
for take-home fruit or cider.
Manned by Optimist Club
and Gettysburg Boy Scout Troop
79 members, the apple stand is
only part of the club’s activities
at the festival.
Steve Toddes, Optimist Club
past president, explained that
because a stand inside the festi
val grounds where the club
members make apple jelly takes
up most of the group’s manpow
er, the Boy Scouts agreed to help
out.
Milton Kuharske. also a past
president of the club, explained
that “every kid in the
Gettysburg School District bene
fits” from the scouts’ and club
members’ hard work at the festi
val.
Toddes explained that $5OO is
given away to each elementary
school in the district to be used
in the Reading is Fundamental
program thus touching each stu
dent Kuharske said “We give
very nickel to youth.”
The Optimist Club is only one
of many service groups that ben
efit from the funds raised at the
festival
The next event featuring the
apple will be The Apple Blossom
Festival the first full weekend in
Mav at the fan grounds and
