Applefest is upon us.

It’s the township’s most popular event annually, with over 100,000 people estimated as attending each year.

Check out our Huron Township Applefest article for more info about the festival

Whether you’re visiting, working in a booth, or walking in the parade, each year our biggest concern is the weather.

Sometimes it can be dreadful during this first weekend in October.

Well, good news for the festival this year. The weather looks great.

According to the forecast from Weather Underground, it’s going to be mostly sunny and mild on both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday will be the warmest day.

Rain chances are possible early Sunday morning, but it looks like the rain will be out of here by 8 a.m.

(Weather Underground forecast for New Boston as of Friday, Oct. 4, 2019 — 9 a.m.)
