Johnny Appleseed at the LaFayette Apple Festival in LaFayette, New York.
When it comes to fall festivals in my area, the biggest is the LaFayette Apple Festival. In two days, 50,000 people attend the festival to enjoy all kinds of apple goodies, carnival rides, craft tents and entertainment. All of this happens under the watchful eye of Johnny Appleseed. Whose legend of planting apple trees makes him a very suitable mascot for the popular festival.

He’s an engaging Johnny! Nice to see autumn as it should be, with sunshine and apple festivals.

The sun did pop out late in the morning and it was warm if you got out of the brisk north-west winds. The hot apple fritters (which I was eating when Johnny Appleseed showed up) helped to warm me up.

Nice photo, the lines are all leading the viewer to Mr. Appleseed’s face. I had to find out why this smiling man was dressed with a pan at his head, so I went to Wikipedia once again, very interesting reading. It didn’t mention pots on heads, though. Seems like a nice tradition to have this Festival, and no skyscrapers…

Hmmm…I’ve seen many pictures of Johnny Appleseed which included the pot on his head. I’ll have to do some digging and find out it’s origin for you.
