It's that time of year again for our Apple Pie Fest and Classic Car Show! Join us Sunday, September 15th from 2 PM to 4 PM at the North Lanark Regional Museum for this fall fundraiser that is a can't-miss for anyone who loves cars and apple pie! Did you know that the village of Appleton was originally called Apple Tree Falls in honour of the abundance of apple trees growing along the banks of the Mississippi River? Celebrate the village's namesake with a slice of home baked apple pie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! While you're here, check out the classic cars and enjoy all that the North Lanark Regional Museum has to offer. Tickets are just $10 and can be reserved by calling 613-257-8503 or emailing appletonmuseum@hotmail.com. Or you can pick up your tickets now by visiting the Museum (647 River Road, Appleton) or at Baker Bob's in Almonte!
