The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc. October 14. 1UVS Section Two Page 3 ANYONE FOR A BALLOON? -- There are lots of interesting things for kids to do each year at the Apple Festival. And who knows? Maybe some of them will go home with a complimentary balloon. Museums Display Apple Artifacts You can sec antique apple peelers and old photos photos from Clarington's apple industry at the display display from the Clarke Museum and Archives and the Bowmanvillc Museum. Look for the museum volunteers near the Bank of Montreal during the Apple Fest activities. The museums' booth will also be serving apples and custard from noon to 2:30 p.m. Along with the display and the apple treats, the Bowmanvillc Museum and Clarke Museum and Archives arc selling raffle tickets for a painting and holding a 50- 50 draw. . v Bowmanvillc Museum Curator Charles Taws says apple evaporators were an important local industry in communities such as Orono and Bowmanvillc. Bowmanvillc once had a large evaporator at the corner of Queen St. and Division Street where a new office and apartment building was constructed in 1987. The evaporator plant, which was torn down in 1963, had originally served as a Bible Christian Church (built in 1857) and then a music hall before being turned into a factory for processing apples. In the evaporator, apples were peeled and cored on machines and then placed on • screens. Chemicals helped to speed the process of drying and resulted in preserved, dried apples which were widely used in the early years of this century. Square Dancers Join Apple Fest The unmistakable toe-tapping sounds of the square dance will be heard at the Bowmanvillc BIA apple festival festival October 17th. The dancers will be young performers from Hampton Junior Public School and Enniskillen Public School. But, square dance caller Harvey Webster adds that passers-by arc welcome to join the fun. "If people start tapping their toes and they want to join in, that's fine," he says. They'll even offer some impromptu lessons. The dancers will be the Hampton Scooter Booters and the Enniskillen Steppers. Bobby Burton's Back Country Band will be playing the music and Harvey Webster will be calling. Webster has volunteered to teach square dancing to students in Hampton and Enniskillen. He reports that the students seem to enjoy learning the basics of squaredancing squaredancing and are also fascinated by the fast-paced chant of the square dance callers. The square dances help build confidence and teach skills in listening and following instruction. Best of all, it's fun.
