APPLE FEST AGENDA

Friday, September 18, 2009
Come enjoy a night of good food and great live entertainment. We are doing Apple Fest a little different this year. We will kick off the festivities Friday night at 6:30 pm with dinner, a live band and hay wagon rides. The dinner will be by donation only. Also there will be an opportunity to register for the Harvest race(s) on Friday night. For those who need accommodations, I have included links on the right side for places to stay in Fillmore. If you really want to "rough" it, there is a designated grassy area on the farm for tents. However, keep in mind there are no shower facilities.

Saturday, September 19, 2009
The race will begin and end at Apple Creek Farms (300 West 500 South * Fillmore, UT). Start time is Saturday at 8:00 am. All participants, please arrive at 7:30 am. You may register Saturday from 7:00 - 7:30, but encourage you to pre-register (as it gives us a better idea of how many to expect as well as a t-shirt count). The race includes a t-shirt as well as a fabulous pancake breakfast following the race. Also, small prizes will be given out to the top winner in each age category. There will also be a fun 1 mile run for the kids. This will take place after the 5k & 10k. Prices for the race are as follows:

Harvest 10k
Pre-Register..........$20
Day of Race...........$25

Harvest 5k

Pre-Register......$15
Day of Race........$20

Children's 1-Mile
$10

Registration may be done through PayPal or by sending in registration form to (registration forms are to the right):

Apple Creek Farms
95 North Main Street
Fillmore, UT 84631

This is for a great cause. All proceeds from the Harvest Races will be donated to Primary Children's Medical Center in memory of Kate Rosenvall. Last year we raised over $2,000, which went towards a discovery play zone for the waiting area in the PICU.

Also, you don't want to miss apple pressing and the best fresh apple cider you've ever tasted. Apple pressing, cobbler testing, live entertainment, hay wagon rides and much, much more. So stick around and enjoy a day on Apple Creek Farms.

We Hope To See You There!!!

2nd Annual Apple Fest & Memorial 5k/10k Run

We had so much fun last year that we thought....."Hey, Let's do it again!"

We're excited to announce the 2nd annual Apple Fest and Memorial 5k/10k walk/run located in beautiful Fillmore, UT. Last year we just hosted a 5k walk/run to raise money to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center in memory of Kate Rosenvall. We felt like we had a great turnout and ended up donating over $2000. This year, we've decided to add a 10k and a children's 1 mile walk/run as well. Along with the race, don't forget about all of the Apple Fest festivities: apple pressing, hay wagon rides, dinner & dancing and much, much more. We're still planning and tweaking things a bit, so check back often for updates.

We hope to see you at APPLE FEST 2009!!!

Butter Caramel Syrup

Many of you requested the recipe for Ann's fabulous Caramel Syrup. So, here it is...

Butter Caramel Syrup

1 C. buttermilk
½ cube butter
1 C. white sugar
1 C. brown sugar
4 Tbls. Karo Syrup
1 tsp. soda
1 Tbls. Vanilla

Mix all ingredients except the vanilla in a large cooking pan.(Be sure the pan is large because the soda makes the syrup bubble and it grows more than 5 times its size.) Boil about 5 minutes then add the vanilla. Serve on waffles,French toast or pancakes. Top with fruit (bananas or apples)and pecans.

Just an FYI....if you had your pictures taken this past weekend, they are on-line and available for purchase. Go to kirstinroperphotography.blogspot.com

1st Annual Apple Fest 2008

A HUGE "THANK YOU" to all those who attended the 1st Annual Apple Fest! We had such a great turnout and had a lot of fun. We just want to express our appreciation to all those who participated in the Harvest 5k walk/run. We had close to 100 participants and raised close to $2,000, which will be donated to Primary Children's Medical Center Foundation in Kate's name. Thank you for all the generous donations. We would especially like to thank our fabulous volunteers. Without You none of this would have been possible.

Update....

Two more days to go and we are really looking forward to seeing you!!

Okay, so we have made another change for the 5k. Because of transportation issues, we would like ALL participants to be at Apple Creek Farms as close to 8:00 am as possible. This is where you will check-in and receive your number. Once you are registered and checked in, we will start shuttling you to the starting line. Or, if you can have someone drop you off at the starting line, this would help. There's really not a place for parking at the starting line.

Directions to Apple Creek Farm

Apple Creek Farms is located off the South Fillmore Exit #163. Off the exit, turn East and follow Highway 99 until your reach 300 West 500 South. There will be signs....you can't miss it. We look forward to seeing you bright and EARLY (8:00 am)!!!
