HAMILTON — The Ravalli County Museum and Historical Society hosted its 44th annual Apple Days event in Hamilton on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023.
People were lined up early to get pies, caramel apples, cider and much more from over 170 vendors who were set up in downtown Hamilton.
“So it started as a way to fundraise for the museum back when the museum first started — it wasn’t even in the building it's in yet," recalled event director Michelle Nowling. "The folks wanted to educate people about the apple boom. to tell them this is our heritage this is our history. Look around your neighborhood; see how many apple trees you can find. And so they thought a great way to bring people together was to bake pies."
Volunteers chipped in prior to the event by helping to bake hundreds of apple pies.
