Here are a few pictures from our adventure to the Apple Festival in Erwin. Erwin is really the last major outpost before you go all out rural Tennessee Mountains. So we got a picture with a smallish mountain in the back drop. The greasy food typical of most festivals was definitely a highlight. We split a funnel cake (as you can see). We also took a ride on the "choo-choo-chrain" as Lily calls it.
You have to appreciate the entrepreneurial spirits of folks in this part of the world. Just about everything you can imagine was up for sale. Some tents were essentially garage sales...others had some really nice crafts (we got a wooden feather set to turn a pumpkin into a turkey)....and there was certainly some apple products. We ended up with two jars of home made apple butter (yes Dad, one is for you), and a jar of plum butter (sorry Dad, you're fighting your daughter and granddaughter for that one).
