Organizers of the 44th Grand Rapids Applebutter Fest announce that the annual festival will be held this year and is scheduled for Sunday, October 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Festival co-chair Steve Kryder said the organization is mindful of COVID-19 concerns.

“We encourage everyone to get vaccinated, and we also encourage folks to wear masks, but it is not required,” he said.

Mr. Kryder reminds attendees to be aware of and practice social distancing as well.

“We will have multiple hand sanitizer stations plus hand washing stations. And the Wood County Health Department will provide COVID vaccinations at the festival free of charge,” he added. “If you’re uncomfortable about coming to the event we understand, but we’ll miss you.”
