I received a letter from a fellow member many months
ago after my submission to Pomona appeared in print.
He informed me of a local apple festival. It will be
held in Lincoln, AR this Friday through Sunday. I am
planning to go out there this Saturday.
I am hoping to get a small number of many locally
grown antique varieties of apples. I am not that
interested in new breeding program apples. I hope
these well known apples will be available. If not, I
will be a little disappointed.
Now I suspect that some of you here might actually
have orchards that will be participating in this or
there are some of you that are enthusiasts like me.
If so, I am interested in gathering a few apples of as
many varieties as possible that will grow around here.
I am also interested in Pears. I am definately not
interested in the aesthetic beauty of the fruit.
Contact me and maybe we can meet up. I plan to bring
my 4 yo daughter with me as well.
