I don’t particularly like apples, crafts or crowds, but I had a perfectly pleasant time in Darlington Saturday for the village’s annual Apple Festival.
Nearly a quarter-century old now, the Apple Festival has become a staple of early October for residents of Harford County and beyond. Its popularity has been a blessing and a curse.
What started innocently enough in 1986, when a spring strawberry festival morphed into a fall apple festival, has now become the largest one-day outdoor event in Harford County – drawing about 50,000 visitors, according to the official Darlington Apple Festival attendee booklet.
