The Harcourt Applefest is completed for another year, despite rain that came thundering down before and after, the events on Saturday and Sunday went off without too much interference from the rain.
Crowds seemed to be up on last year, and the parade made a historic path along Main Street, down Market street and and along the inside lane of the old Calder Highway.
Sales from the Art Show were up on previous years as was the quality of the Art Work on show, the Art Show was judged by Paul Northam, and he took the Art show opening guest on a journey into the commended and the prize winners of the evening.
Although it was relocated to the Harcourt Leisure Centre the Opera in the Park with Quarrto Voci was amazing and the crowd were enthralled and engaged by the performance.
The Fun run was well attended with the 4 & 7 km attracting 70 runners with the 7 km run being won by Daryn James who was up from Melbourne visiting family who live locally.
The pet parade and the ferret race were well attended and the High ANA hall, the apple growers tent and the Harcourt Valley Primary School Stall were well atteended on the Sunday as they had been for the whole weekend. Unfortunately due to inclement weather, the Community picnic was cancelled on the Monday.
