Event organizers will have for sale again this year their famous apple strudels. “We made over 200 pounds of strudel, we usual make about 225 but we ran out of apples so we cut it back a little bit this year, but its great. We sell it cooked and we also sell it frozen with directions and you can take it home, put it in your freezer and cook it later,” said Event Representative, Katherine Cane. There will be a bake sale taking place during the event, it will feature all sorts of pastries and desserts.
