APPLE MARKETS REPORT RECORD SALES
WHKP - after speaking with several of Henderson County roadside markets - has learned Labor Day Weekend was the best ever for sales here in Henderson County, the 7th largest apple-producing county in America.
The demise of the Apple Festival...with no Main Street events, no vendors, and no entertainment - boosted roadside traffic tremendously.
Grandads Apples, Jimmy Nix Apple House, Barnwell and Sons Apples all reported their very best Labor Day Weekend sales ever!
WHKPs 36-page Apple Harvest Magazine assisted the growers, by promoting their on-location-sale of apples, apple related products and local goods such as jams, jellies, local honey, it appears the non Apple Festival Festival did the exact same thing moving Garden Jublilee did..by moving off Main Street...customers got out to the actual points of purchase for apples and plants.
