2012 Hilton Apple Fest logo chosen

A logo design submitted by Hilton native Shelby Billotti has been chosen as the winner of the 2012 Hilton Apple Fest logo contest.

Having entered the contest in years past, Billotti, who actually entered two designs this year, was particularly delighted and definitely surprised when she heard her logo was chosen. Billotti said she decided to have fun with the idea of mixing different typefaces together, keeping it simple, while adding some pizzazz.

Having grown up in Hilton, she is an Apple Fest enthusiast who looks forward to the festival each year. This year will be especially exciting, since the logo she designed will adorn everything from ceramic coffee mugs, to baseball caps and t-shirts. Better yet, all festival souvenirs are produced by local western New York artisans, further growing the local economy.

Special children’s apparel featuring Corey, the Apple Fest mascot, is also going to be available for purchase at the Apple Fest souvenir tent. As a sign of appreciation, the Hilton Apple Fest board of directors presented Billotti with a $100 check and a sweatshirt embroidered with the winning logo.

The 32nd annual festival will take place Saturday, September 29 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday, September 30 from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Visit www.hiltonapplefest.org for other information.
