For those who actually plan ahead, here's another entry for the fall food-and-drink events calendar:The annual Capital Region Apple and Wine Festival, scheduled for the weekend of September 17-18.
The event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, will be held at the Altamont Fair Grounds, 129 Grand Street in Altamont. Admissions is $8 for anyone over the age of 15, otherwise no charge. Tickets will go on sale at Price Chopper stores closer to the event. And, parking will be free. Those who donate a nonperishable food item or make a monetary donation to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York will receive a $1 off their next purchase of $10 or more at the Altamont Orchards Farm Market.
The rain-or-shine festival will include wine and food samplings, cooking demonstrations, a car show, a farmers market, and more than 100 crafters from throughout the Northeast on hand to participate in a juried craft show. Products that are part of the Pride of NY program will be featured throughout. To emphasize the family atmosphere, kids will be treated to non-stop entertainment including a kids circus, haunted house, face and pumpkin painting, clowns, stilt walker, juggler, and pony rides.
