On Saturday, Oct. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Shops at Seymour Merchant Group is hosting their first annual “Apple Harvest Festival.”
This event is the first of many to be sponsored by the Merchant Group, in an effort to raise awareness about the downtown area.
The event will feature live entertainment, Autumn-themed food and beverages, sales and specials at the participating shops, a petting zoo, book signing by an award-winning children’s author, and more!
St. Anthony’s Book & Gift Shop will feature a “Best Angel” contest, Dragonflies Floral Shop will feature a “Children’s Best Painted Pumpkin” contest, and the General Store has several contests running. Please contact any of those shop owners for more details.
Applications are currently being accepted from individuals ages 10 – 18 to be crowned this year’s Apple Harvest King and Queen. Applications can be picked up at any of the participating downtown shops through Oct. 20. Applications are due to either Dragonflies Floral Shop, the Mad Hatter Boutique, or the Law Office of Karen Fisher, by Oct. 20 at 5 p.m. Winners will be announced the following week, and will receive flowers from Dragonflies and participate in a photo shoot downtown.
Additionally, several merchants will be participating in a hay bale decorating contest during the month of October. On Oct. 19, Connecticut news anchor, Ann Nyberg, will be touring Downtown Seymour and judging the hay bales. Winners will be announced on Oct. 20 at the Harvest Festival.
