Lots of folks refused to let a little rain stop them from visiting the Big Red Apple Festival in Cornelia Saturday. The 27th annual event drew people of all ages from all across northeast Georgia. Most of the day’s events were held near the main stage located downtown by the historic train depot, but there were also a few events spread throughout the city. There were hayrides to the top of Chenocetah Mountain, tours of Chenocetah Tower, a book sale at Cornelia Library, a car show sponsored by the Habersham Key Club and the annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” Circle of Hope domestic violence awareness event. (see Men don heels to stamp out domestic violence).
