LIVERMORE FALLS – Apple-Pumpkin Festival organizers are ready this weekend to put on what they hope is the biggest festival yet. Last year more than 3,000 visitors attended, and they’re hoping more visitors will check it out this year.

The festival, sponsored by the Jay, Livermore and Livermore Chamber of Commerce was initially scheduled last month but predictions of severe rainstorms prompted organizers to move it to 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Livermore Falls Recreation Field.

The event features lots of vendors, craft artisans, music, agricultural products and displays, historical items, season decorations and fun for all ages.

Some musicians will perform on the field on Foundry Road, while others will play at the gazebo behind the municipal building.

Performances scheduled at the gazebo are Lolalee & the Country Bandits at 10 a.m., Silver and Gold at 11:30 a.m. and Barry Wood from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Performing at the recreation field are Native Oak, 10 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.; The Melodears, 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Mary Murphy, 12:30 to 1:45 p.m. and Jan Gill and Friends from SAD 36.

There will be games for children as well as a slide and bounce house.

Off-the-field activities include a pancake breakfast from 7 to 11 a.m. at the American Legion Hall at 17 Reynolds Ave. in Livermore Falls, yard and bake sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the VFW Hall on Jewell Street in Jay, Maine’s Paper and Heritage Museum Tours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., 22 Church St. in Livermore Falls.

Also, a ham dinner is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. at St. Rose of Lima Parish Hall, 1 Church St. in Jay, and fundraising Maurer Meals at LaFleur’s Restaurant on Main Street in Jay and Carriage House Cafe on Federal Road in Livermore.
