The official Patch Applefest Street Fair 2012 video that you should watch.
It was windy, but nothing a few rocks couldn't solve, holding down papers and items where need be.

Check out our video of the sights and sounds, dances, apples and faces, of Appefest 2012. You could order a prayer by a guy at a steel drum, catch apples from Wegmans, enter a drawing by the Northborough Recreation Department and jump around in the moonbounce or on the fire truck. Dawn's School of Dance and Project Jay Fitness performed, and there were karate demonstrations. It's all right here in our video package. Add your photos and videos by …
Can you feel the crispness coming in?

Please do below in our comments section.

Those mosquitoes may have forced the cancelation of the fireworks and the barbecue, and construction pushed away the parade this year, but Applefest is still the best event going this weekend. Kicking off Thursday with a talent show at Algonquin Regional High School, Applefest continues through Sunday, Sept. 16, with events.
