The event is a country fair that celebrates autumn with activities for the whole family, including games, contests, face painting, plenty of arts and crafts, and more. A bake sale and food concessions offer food and drink to attendees, as well as an apple pie competition with homemade pies baked by community members and families of children attending the school. The event also features a raffle with more than 40 prizes donated by local businesses.

Applefest is the largest public fundraising event of the year for Little Red Schoolhouse, a nonprofit cooperative preschool serving children 2 years, 9 months, old and up from around north and central Berkshire County and southern Vermont. The funds raised from Applefest are used for classroom materials and curriculum planning.

Admission is only $3 for children. Adults are free. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hope to see you there!
