The Mount Holly Community Association celebrates the harvest season by honoring the APPLE. This Columbus Day weekend is the 19th year that the association will host Cider Days on the Belmont Village Green.
Come see cider being pressed the old-fashioned way. Each fall our little town comes alive with folks from near and far sharing a hot or cold cup of freshly pressed cider. It’s so delicious you’ll want to take home a gallon or two!! There will be apple pies for sale along with the perfect complement, locally made Crowley Cheese. Or try some of our homemade apple crisp. Find unique holiday gifts made by local arts and crafts people that include fabric purses, jewelry, soap, knitted apparel and pottery, just to mention a few. Purchase your 2008 calendar with beautiful photographs of our town taken by local citizens and we now offer a lovely packet of note cards.
Our vendors are always an exciting mix with locally made cheese, maple syrup, jams and jellies, produce and tempting baked goods. In the library across from the “Green” view an exceptional exhibit of photographs and vote on your favorite ones and they will appear in the 2009 calendar. The Mount Holly Library is offering “Great Books at Great Prices for a Great Cause”. They have many newly donated books that have added to an already huge sale collection. All genres are represented.
Proceeds from Cider Days are used to maintain and renovate the old Methodist Church home to the Mount Holly Community Association and Library. Over the years our little fair has grown and word has spread that this rain or shine event shouldn’t be missed. Saturday, October 6th, 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday, October 7th, noon to 4 pm. Saturday after the festival join us at the Odd Fellows Hall for a sumptuous roast beef dinner with all the fixin’s. For all events take route 103 to the yellow flashing in Mount Holly and follow the signs to Belmont. Contact 802-259-3707 for more information.
