Perry Hall Apple Festival 2013: 5 Great Recipes
Enjoy music and activities for the whole family, along with these apple-based recipes.
The Perry Hall Apple Festival is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Chapel Hills Farm, and members of the Perry Hall Improvement Association are hoping the weather holds out.
Although forecasts are calling for isolated thunderstorms and showers all weekend, the chance of rain is 30 percent on Saturday and 40 percent Sunday, according to Weather.com.
The PHIA will only reschedule in the event of all-day rain, according to the group's Facebook page.
PHIA President Dennis Robinson said he hopes residents will show up, despite the clouds.
"This will be another wonderful opportunity for neighbors to get together and have a nice time," Robinson told Patch. "This event provides an opportunity to take a step back in time to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends in a fun and slow-paced setting."
Robinson also thanked the owner of Chapel Hills Farm, Russell Berk, and the operators of the farm for hosting the event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.Â
Parking and entrance is free, along with sack races and bobbing for apples. Tickets are available for $2 for hay rides, train rides, the petting zoo and other activities.
