Taking a few bites out of Apple Hill
Submitted by Editor on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 10:30pm
By Don Quilici
It’s that time of the year, once again, to visit a special place known as Apple Hill. If you are a newcomer to this area or if you have never been there, fall is a great time of the year to visit Apple Hill.
And, if you are a newcomer, about now you are probably wondering, “What and where in the heck is Apple Hill?”
Well, the correct answer is: “Apple Hill is not a specific hill or a specific location; on the contrary, it is a large geographic area.”
