BROOKFIELD — One of the region’s most long-standing craft fair traditions reached the 40-year mark last weekend, and guests celebrated with another strong attendance. The Apple Country Fair was held on Oct. 6 on the town Common, drawing craft- ers and guests from throughout the area. Per tradition, apple-based products ruled the day, with a pie contest, ciders and applesauce serving as delicious highlights. Live music, vendors, and children’s activities also took place. Proceeds benefit the Brookfield Community Club, which uses the money to fund a variety of activities in town.

How do you like these apples? The McDonnell family, of Ware, enjoys a day on the Common.

Kevin Flanders photos. Olivia Giza, age 2, right, and Ellie Towne, age 1, both of West Brookfield, are ready to play.

Jasmyn D’Ambra, age 6, left, and Dakotah Majka, age 6, both of Brookfield, get creative with their designs.

Everyone is in uniform, but he is a football player. We are happy for him.” Leicester’s junior running back started the scoring with a seven-yard touchdown run with 7:36 left in the first quar- ter. The Wolverines started the game aggressively, pounding the rock in between the tack- les until Gosselin sprung loose and into the end zone.

As fall foliage creates a colorful display and kids frolic in leaf piles on the lawn, you may want to pay some mind to a few lesser known facts about this beloved time of year. Autumn may call to mind Halloween and the return of school, but there are other factors that make this season unique. 1. The first day of autumn is known as the autumnal equinox. On this day, the num- ber of hours of daylight and darkness are equal. This is because the sun is aligned with the cen- ter of the Earth between the north and south of the planet. The other equinox occurs in the spring, which arrives in the third week of March in the Northern hemi- sphere. 2. In Greek mythology, autumn was a time when Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, was abducted by Hades, the god-king of the underworld. During this time, Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was distraught and the ground grew sparse and they are just overpow- autumn, birds will fly to ter them from harsh ancient Celtic tradition. a thick wax.
