About Us/How You Can Help

Dear Friends,

After a great return of the New Paris AppleFest in 2012, the New Paris Area Chamber of Commerce, Convention & Visitors Bureau is looking forward to another great AppleFest this year!  The 2013 AppleFest will be held on Friday evening, September 27th through Sunday, September 29th, with the main portion of the festival to be located at the old school. We have been successful in obtaining help from the Montgomery County Career and Technology Center to provide the electrical hookup, so we are all set to bring back this great local event for another year!

Although the AppleFest provides a great opportunity for village residents to get out and have a good time with their friends and neighbors, the goals of the Chamber are much more far-reaching.  The AppleFest brings hundreds of people into our town and exposes them to our numerous tourist attractions and business establishments.  We are provided with a unique opportunity to show visitors that New Paris is a great place to live, work, shop, dine, and play.

 
The AppleFest committee is busy putting plans in motion for this year’s festival and we will strongly rely on our area businesses, organizations and individuals to make it a big success!  Donations to the Chamber of Commerce AppleFest fund are needed to help defray the costs of putting on this event.  The more who participate and take part in supporting the AppleFest, the more we will be able to offer. Checks should be made payable to the New Paris Area Chamber of Commerce. We are also looking for donations of merchandise and gift certificates for use as door and game prizes.  Names of all contributors will be posted at the AppleFest and will be listed as AppleFest sponsors in the Village Press.  All donations are tax deductible.

 
We are also in need of many volunteers to help with planning, promoting, and conducting the AppleFest.  Planning meetings are held regularly at Hairy Decisions Salon, 114 S. Washington Street and we would love to see you there.  If you would like to provide your assistance in any way, please contact Bonnie Hoff (937) 437-4247 or Keith Kelley (937) 437-0048 for more information. 

 
Thanks for your anticipated support!  

 
Very truly yours,

Bonnie Hoff
Applefest Chairperson
