“Due to an issue with his orchard, we aren’t sure yet if Ferrell will have apples for sale or not,” said Knollwood and White House co-administrator Beverly Walker. “But door prizes will be up for grabs and booth spaces are free and still available.”
“We invite everyone to come out and have a great time at this year’s Ferrell Meador Apple Festival,” added Knollwood and White House co-administrator Linda Austin.
