RANGELEY — The Church of the Good Shepherd will host the Rangeley Lakes Region Logging Museum’s 21st annual Apple Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 4.
With Rangeley and Oquossoc’s businesses Oktoberfest list of event running Friday through Sunday, there will be something for everyone.
From 9 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, the Apple Harvest Festival’s breakfast will include a variety of homemade breakfast casseroles. Beginning at 11 a.m., homemade beef stew and vegetarian butternut squash/parsnip soup, biscuit or cornbread will be served. Hot dog or tofu dog luncheon plates will also be available.
