Apple Harvest Festival returns

The eighth Annual Circle of Care Apple Harvest Festival is coming up on Saturday and Sunday, September 28 and 29. Sponsored by Point Roberts Circle of Care, the event celebrates community and autumn, with proceeds supporting aging-in-place services. All events will be held at the Point Roberts Community Center.
The festival features apple cider pressing on Saturday, September 28 from 11-3 using a handmade Correll cider press collectively purchased by several community organizations in 2017. Bring your own washed apples to press for a suggested donation of $2 per quart. Apples larger than two inches in diameter should be halved or quartered in advance.
On the evening of Saturday, September 28 from 7 to 10 p.m., the community center will be completely transformed for a gala with live music, a dance party, and a tiny art auction. Beer, wine, champagne and soda will be available for purchase.
To finish the weekend of fun, there will be Bingo held from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 29. Attendees are encouraged to wear their wackiest bingo attire. Prizes and drinks will be available.
Throughout the weekend, anyone who has interest in ordering a pie from Circle of Care for the Apple Pie Fundraiser may do so in person at the festival or by emailing prcircleofcare@gmail.com. Apple or apple blackberry pies are available in 9-inch ($25) and 5-inch ($9) sizes. Specify crumble or crust top preference in your order. Pies may be picked up the following week on Saturday, October 5 at the community center.
