Hi Apple Friends,
It’s that time of year again for the Annual Apple Harvest Festival 2014!!! 
Come out to SLO Creek Farms Organic U-Pick Garden Area Sunday, October 12, 2014 from 1:00pm-4:00pm and get some FREE cider, freshly pressed right before your eyes. All we ask is that you bring your own 1/2 gallon empty jug and help pick some apples off the trees to help donate to the cider press so everyone can enjoy some free cider. First 1/2 gallon is free!!! There will be a tip jar if you would like to contribute to GleanSLO. Also more cider will be available for purchase if 1/2 gallon is not enough for you cider addicts.
This Festival is Sponsored by the Food Bank/GleanSLO & SLO Creek Farms. We are celebrating the harvest season, the generosity of the Gable family, and GleanSLO volunteers’ hard work and dedication to feed the hungry and help make this world a better place. Special thanks to SLO Creek Farms for making this possible!!! We love you guys!

 

We will have Live Music by Green to White, Dancing, BBQing, Raffling, Hooping Contest, Apple Seed Spitting Contest, Apple Pie Baking Contest, Pumpkins Painting, Hayrides and More!
