Friday, September 9, 2016 The Record 13 For Fair Goers, Robillard’s Apple Crisp A Tradition

BY PAUL HAYES Staff Writer If you’ve ever gone to the Caledonia County or Lancaster Fairs, chances are you’ve seen Ro- billard’s Apple Crisp. The first thing you’ll notice, when walking up to the counter, is the smell: Warm apple crisp and hot coffee. Some New Englanders might say it smells like home. That’s no coincidence. For the Robillards, selling apple crisp at local fairs has been a family affair. It began 27 years ago when Maureen and Raymond Robillard, son Eric and wife Tracie, son John and wife Cindy all went into business together. “We did a bunch of different fairs and then Cyan narrowed it down to the ones that we thought were worth doing,” said Tracie, adding with a Magenta laugh, “We wanted to spend time together, but not too much time together.” Raymond died in 2007. Eric died in 2013.

But the family continues to run the apple crisp Yellow Black stand. Today Tracie and her son, 21-year-old Lucas, are the partners who keep the tradition going. “I couldn’t do it without him and he couldn’t TOP: Richard and Gail Dolan and their Belgian draft horse Beau take a break at the Lancaster Fair on Sept. 4.
