A crisp, sunny autumn afternoon brought hundreds to the Keremeos Grist Mill on Thanksgiving day to participate in Apple Day and close
the regular season at the historic mill. Grist Mill site manager Chris Mathieson reported more than 400 people visited the mill on October 14, where a number of events were slated throughout the day, beginning with a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. Barbequed hamburgers and smokies were also available through mid afternoon. Other events included an apple pie baking contest and an apple race for the kids in Keremeos Creek. Mat Duffus entertained through the afternoon while traditional entertainment played in the Apple House. The weather cooperated beautifully for the event, the mill grounds
glimmering in bright autumn hues of orange and yellow, with a brilliant sun shining and spectacularly clear blue skies above. A display containing more than 40 varieties of apples was provided by local growers Kirk Northrup, Ron Schneider and Harry Naegel. A handful of vendors were also on hand to sell farm fresh produce and fruit. Apple Day concluded the regular season at the mill, with admission reduced to half price for the event. The mill will continue to be open weekends through Christmas, for both regular and special functions.
