Posted by: Joel Hill | Thursday, September 14th, 2023 ( 6:00am)
As fall is approaching, it’s a great time to celebrate West Michigan’s fruit harvest. As part of our WCSG’s Travelin’ Together, we visit the community of Sparta as they celebrate the Michigan Apple Fest this weekend. Local restaurants will offer plenty of dishes featuring the fruit and apple cider from various farms will be available for tasting. There will be contests including apple pealing, apple pie baking, and even an apple slingshot. Kids' activities will be offered throughout the weekend, including pony rides, crafts, a petting zoo and a box train ride. Throughout the weekend there will be live music and vendors showcasing homemade crafts, baked goods, and other items for sale. Fireworks will end activities on Friday. A lumberjack show and living statues will complete the festivities on Saturday. For more information, visit the festival webpage Michigan Apple Fest.
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “no” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ…
