Historical Society hosting Cider Fest on Sunday Show off your baking skills, enjoy music, artisan’s, children’s activities and more
Is grandma’s cinnamon apple pie recipe melt-inyour-mouth marvelous? Do your apple bars take the cake? Now you have a chance to prove it, as part of the 44th annual Cider Fest this Sunday, Oct. 3, as the McHenry County Historical Society is hosting its seventh annual Apple Bakeoff Contest. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with judging following at 10:30 a.m. in the 1895 West Harmony School. The school is located on the museum grounds at 6422 Main St. in Union. Categories are apple pies, apple cakes and apple squares/bars. There is a $2 fee per item, one entry per category. First- second- and third-place contestants in each of the three categories will receive ribbons, with a special prize going to the grand champion. In addition to an amateur category, professional pie bakers are invited to enter an apple pie in third annual “Apple of My Eye” contest. The winner receives a trophy, with the runner-up and third-place entrees earning ribbons. All baked goods entered should be in disposable containers or dishes marked with the contestant’s name and phone number for pickup after judging. Entries will be divided and repackaged for sale that day. All
proceeds benefit the nonprofit historical society. Visitors to the 44th annual Cider Fest will get an opportunity to step back in time with skilled artisans, a turn-of-the-century cider press, children’s activities, October music and vintage items for sale. Blacksmith Sam Johnson, flintknapper Richard Hamilton and broom maker Bob McCann will anchor this year’s festival, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3, at the McHenry County Historical Museum in Union. The museum will open to the public, although face coverings are required indoors. Visitors also are welcome to tour the 1843 Gannon family and 1895 West Harmony one-room school. There is a pie-baking contest in the morning, judged – in part – by “Honest Abe” Lincoln re-enactor Gary Cooney of Huntley. Children’s activities begin at 11:30 a.m. and continue throughout the afternoon. Charlie B & Friends plays Octoberfest music starting at 12:30 p.m. There also will be a mum sale, a white elephant sale, silent auction, food booths, hot cider and doughnuts, a selfie station and more. For additional information on Cider Fest, visit www.gothistory.org or call 815-923-2267.
