Chilhowie Community Apple Festival

Description

The funds raised by the Apple Festival Committee are used to pay for worthwhile projects which benefit the community. The Festival has made monetary contributions to the town, schools, and community. Contributions have been made to band directors for band trips and uniforms, to Project Graduation, to schools for the purchase of equipment, to Chilhowie Elementary for Williamsburg trips, to the Old High School Renovations Committee for many renovations, and to fire and rescue squads. The Festival shared the cost with the town for the stage at the Community Park and for the street Christmas lights. Prior to each year’s Festival, the committee purchases and decorates the town with fall corn, gourds, pumpkins, mums and flags. Santa Claus, Christmas treats, and community lighted Christmas trees were a Festival-sponsored traditions for over 20 years.

As soon as one Festival ends, the committee begins planning for the next year.
