It's wonderful to see neighborhood families gather, snacking on apples and lining up to sink their teeth into warm apple pies. There is nothing better then strolling through the square with a hot cup of cider on a cool crisp autumn day. It¹s a great slice of Americana, said Melissa Flynn Executive Director of the Lincoln Square Chamber of Commerce.
If you can¹t make it to an apple orchard this fall, bring the family to Apple Fest; it is free and open to the public. For more information on the schedule of events (music, cooking classes, kids games) please log on to www.lincolnsquare.org. Apple Fest is Saturday, September 25th from 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. and is located on the 4700 block of Lincoln Avenue.
