🍎 Tell Me About YOUR Apple Festival

As I worked on my debut children's book, Tell Me About Your Apple Festival, I realized there were so many stories that needed to be told about our festival.

That inspired this interview series featuring conversations with some of the people who have helped shape the Murphysboro Apple Festival over its 75-year history. Every person has a story, and together those stories become our history. They remind us that the festival isn't defined by a single event, but by the traditions, memories, volunteerism, and people who return year after year to keep those traditions alive.
