Once again, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County has organized the Monroe Apple Days on October 7, 8, 14 and 15. The event showcases outdoor attractions and recreational opportunities available to families and their communities during the fall season each year and provides support to farmers and the local economy. Part of the event is the Monroe Apple Days Contest which gives participants a chance to win a $25 gift card.
By joining the Monroe Apple Days Contest, participants may enjoy fall farm fun combined with some healthy competition. While at the farm, visitors can taste freshly made apple cider, relax in the orchard, and pick or buy locally grown apples and home-baked goods.
To take part in the contest, visit one of the participating farms, find the Monroe Apple Days Contest flyer, and take a selfie in front of it. The selfie must be posted on CCE Monroe’s social media (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) using #AppleDays. The winner will be selected randomly during the raffle on Thursday, October 19. The gift card may be redeemed at any of the participating farms:
