Your Guide to Salvation Army Applefest 2013

Salvation Army Applefest is a perfect New England fall ritual held at Sullivan Farm, 70 Coburn Avenue. Where else can you find rides through apple orchards for the kids, crafts, live music, endless apple pie, food hot off the grill, a petting zoo and all the apples you can pick?

And it's all for a great cause - last year the Greater Nashua Salvation Army donated two toys each to 2,029 children at Christmastime.

In addition to the  annual Red Kettle Campaign, Applefest is one of the organizations key fundraising events, which allows them to continue their outreach to families in Nashua who are up against difficult times.
