The Watauga County Farmers’ Market hosted a fantastic celebration of all things apple with the AppleFEST event this past weekend. This event boasted a day filled with the aroma of warm apple pie, captivating live music, educational demonstrations, and a strong sense of community. It was wonderful way to start the autumn season.
