Hundreds of people are heading over to the Van Wert County Fairgrounds to take part in not one but three events going on at the same time.   Harvest Happenings, the Dairy Barn Emporium and the Apple Festival have taken over the fairgrounds Friday and Saturday.   If you like to shop or looking to get a jump on your holiday shopping, there are crafts, clothing, and other items available in many different building.   But it is the Apple Festival that started it all.  It is celebrating it is 35th year in 2022.  It began as way for three orchards to get rid of their apple supplies in the fall, but it has grown too so much more.

The transformation has begun as semis full of rides and food trailers are making their way onto the grounds. Soon barns will be filled with animals and the smell of fair food will be filling the midway. Fair administration says they hope to increase attendance at this year's fair by adding a few new events. There will be a wild west comedy-style re-enactment show along with an interactive wildlife experience.
