Apple Fest: Day 1

We traveled to Gays Mills, Wisconsin (home of Jason's employer) this weekend for their 50th Annual Apple Fest!
Gays Mills, Wisconsin (pop. 625)

The old mill museum on the Kickapoo River.
The Kickapoo has flooded the town twice in the past year.

Jason starting on his run.
Saturday started with the 2-mile run and walk. Jason placed 9th overall and 2nd in the men's 30-39 age group. I was able to take this picture since I was just walking.
After the run/walk, we all went over to the Congregational Church for the pancake feed. We enjoyed pancakes with apple syrup, applesauce, and apple cider.
Later in the afternoon, there was a 2-on-2 basketball tournament at Coach Hines' house.
Notice the apple being dunked!


Saturday evening brought preparations for Sunday's parade! A separate parade posts will be coming soon.
