FULTON – The Lutheran Memorial Camp’s 45th Apple Butter Festival is set for Oct. 9 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This afternoon of food, fun and games for the entire family will provide “Camperships” (financial assistance) to children who want to participate in the camping experience. There is no admission charge.
A highlight of the day will be the “Grand Auction” from noon to 2 p.m. Silent bids will be collected in the Auction Tent, and winners will be announced shortly after 2 p.m. Registrations are still being accepted from crafters for “Artisans’ Alley” – hand-made crafts and gifts for sale.
Desserts will be available, including some sugar-free and gluten-free. There will be foods, an arts and crafts show, yard games and carnival games with prizes, as well as hay rides through the camp. Entertainment includes live music, free lawn games to play, a petting zoo, craft and cider demonstrations, face painting, pumpkin painting, cupcake decorating, a scarecrow making competition (prizes awarded) and, of course, apple butter and cider making.
Donations to the Grand Auction may be made at the camp office. Lutheran Memorial Camp is at 2790 State Route 61, just a half mile south of Fulton. Information and applications for auction donations, volunteers and craftspeople are available by emailing pines@hopewoodoutdoors.org, or you may call the office weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.: 419-864-8030.
