PHOTO GALLERY: The 2008 Apple Festival

By Gary Nelson / gnelson@crossville-chronicle.com

There wasn't a doctor in sight during the 2008 Apple Festival at the Historic Homestead Tower and Museum just south of Crossville. In just five short years the annual Homestead's Apple Festival has blossomed into an event which attracts people from across the state.

"We get such a large turnout for the festival and I always hear people saying how impressed they are with what we have at the Apple Festival and how it's organized," said Vicki Vaden, a Homesteads resident and one of the festival organizers.

Quilting, canning, music and craftmaking are just a few of the staples that bind the festival much in the same way they bound the community in its beginnings some 70 years ago. All of those were on display at the event.

The Apple Festival is the primary fundraiser for the Cumberland Homesteads Tower Association for the year. Funds raised will go to the Cumberland Homesteads Tower Association to be used toward preservation efforts with the Tower Museum and Historic Homesteads Home on Pigeon Ridge Rd.
