AppleFest — A family fun event

On Saturday, Sept. 23, NESCO will hold our annual AppleFest from 9:30 am‒3:30 pm at the Warner Park Community Recreation Center. The event has become a Northside tradition.

AppleFest is a fun-filled family event where parents bring their children to enjoy playing games, face painting, eating food and listening to live music. There is also a boutique and gently used jewelry sale, raffle and prize drawings (for all ages), baked goods and a used book sale (which begins Thursday).

AppleFest is a great opportunity to spend quality time together as a family doing a fun activity at an affordable price. Admission is $2 for adults; children under 12 are free. Games cost $.50‒$1. All proceeds help support NESCO’s programs and services for senior adults in our community.

We thank our major sponsors: Senior Helpers, TASC and Madison Chiropractic-North.
