Sometimes the simplest moments become the most treasured memories. ❤️
We kicked off the 55th Apple Butter Stirrin' Festival, presented by the Roscoe Village Foundation, with a tractor draped in red, white, and blue, proudly displaying "God Bless America." Nothing fancy, just a little slice of Americana. That video has now reached more than 200,000 people! And the weekend was filled with moments just like it.
Apple butter simmering in copper kettles over open fires, with folks taking turns stirring. Hank the horse stealing hearts. Children rolling down a hill into a giant pile of leaves. The ringing of the old schoolhouse bell, bluegrass music, caramel apples, blacksmiths shoeing horses, and artisans sharing their craft.
All against the beautiful fall backdrop of Historic Roscoe Village — brick sidewalks, lanterns, antique wagons and buggies, costumed interpreters, village shops, and the final canal boat rides of the season before restoration.
We were especially proud to be recognized as an official America 250-Ohio Featured Event, celebrating Ohio's food and farming heritage as part of the statewide Food & Farms initiative presented by Nationwide. What a wonderful way to celebrate 55 years of Apple Butter Stirrin'!
