APPLEFEST 2010 September 10^th, 11^th & 12^th

Dear Northborough Neighbor:

We want to thank everyone who supported and attended our 2009 Applefest. It was a beautiful, sunny weekend with a great parade, street fair and road race. Our other popular events included our Apple Pie Café, Senior Applefest Luncheon, Art In Bloom, Boy Scout Pancake Breakfast, Library Book Sale, American Legion BBQ, Classic Car Show and our first ever Northborough Has Talent Show.

For those new to town, Applefest is an annual town-wide fall celebration of our community, downtown area and Northborough’s agricultural history. Many of our civic, scouting and sports organizations, schools, churches and artisans participate in the parade, street fair and other programs.

Since 1990, Applefest has been a volunteer-run event, relying on donations from our residents and local businesses. We are seeking your support to continue this tradition of fun-filled Applefest activities. Please demonstrate your community spirit with a monetary contribution made payable to Applefest 2010.

We hope you will join us on Applefest weekend. If you have any questions about Applefest or if you
would like to volunteer to help out during the events, please contact me at 508-393-1355 or
michelle@michellegillespie.com.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Michelle Gillespie
Applefest Committee Chairman
