Lafayette Apple Festival

by Cierra Mincher

Spring is over,

Summer’s gone.

Fall is here,

Come along!

Leaves are falling,

Changing hue.

Red and orange,

Yellow too!

Drink down apple cider,

Eat the pumpkin pie.

It’s all delicious,

We can’t lie!

Crafts, food, drinks, and shows,

Everybody here already knows.

Lafayette Apple Fest,

Is simply the best!

Yearly apple fritters,

Some yummy river rat cheese.

No matter the critter,

They know how to please!

A yearly festival,

It only lasts two days.

Don’t let the fun slip through your fingers,

And float a year away!
