Everything about apples all day long. Hay Creek Apple Festival
It's the peak of apple harvesting time. During the beautiful fall season, the Hay Creek Apple Festival offers a wonderful day with some great family fun. All ages will enjoy the brisk fall air and savor the delicious array of homemade Hay Creek apple specialties. The Festival's home is Historic Joanna Furnace off of Route 10.
At the 2011 Hay Creek Apple Festival visitors will also see the restoration efforts at historic Joanna Furnace first hand. With the help from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) the Hay Creek Valley Historical Association is restoring the Casting House Roof and replacing the orange beaver tail tile that once ornamented the top of this structure. Considered the hub of the Furnace Complex, the Casting House was the building that manufactured the pig iron, kitchen kettles, window weights, and the famous Joanna Furnace 10-plates stoves.
