36th Annual Applefest – September 18th-21st, 2008

Thursday, September 18th, 2008
Birds Eye View of the annual St. Johns Applefest

Bird's Eye View of the annual St. John's Applefest

What began as a small parish ethnic festival 36 years ago has evolved into the area’s largest autumn festival. Held on the grounds of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Fenton, MI, the St. John Applefest has become a community event that draws families from Fenton, Linden, Holly, and all over the tri-county area. As the largest parish festival in the Diocese of Lansing, Applefest provides friendship, festivities, food, and – most of all – fun for people of all ages.

Visit the official St. John’s Applefest web site!

Chat about your favorite experiences at the St. John’s Applefest in the newly revamped FentonSays Fenton Forums.  All opinions are welcome, but be sure to play nice.

Get directions and maps to the 2008 St. John’s Applefest.

Tommy Swindol Video Blogs about Junior Camp in Fenton

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Tommy vlogs from Tyrone Valley Conference Center. Summer is time for camping in Michigan, and the Fenton area is no exception. Children love going off to camp with the family, or what we used to call “sleep away camp,” or even day camp away from the parents. There are many choices for parents and children to enjoy religious or secular camps and camp grounds in the Fenton area. We are glad that Tommy Swindol has decided to share a little bit about his experience. Enjoy!
