Description of Event:
Apple Butter Makin' Days, one of Missouri's most popular festivals, has been held on the courthouse square in Mt. Vernon each October since 1967. The main attraction is apple butter, cooked using century-old methods in huge copper kettles over open fires. That craft is demonstrated on the southeast corner of the courthouse lawn starting shortly after dawn and continuing until early to mid-afternoon each day of the festival. The sale of apple butter has helped fund numerous charitable projects. While the cooking of apple butter is the prime attraction of Apple Butter Makin' Days, other activities compliment the event and provide entertainment and fun for those who attend. Businesses decorate their store windows with displays of antique furniture and collectibles, and some people still dress in costumes of the era. The juried festival also includes games, food and entertainment for all ages. The festival draws an estimated 40,000 to 45,000 people for the three day weekend!Information:
