Local apples, as well as pies and crisps made from those apples will be on sale 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday during the 19th Annual Lacey Historical Society Apple Festival at the Schoolhouse Museum on Route 9.

Celebratory dinner will be held March 24

Funds raised to go toward college scholarship, support of Schoolhouse Museum
New Jersey apples are the stars of this Saturday's eighteenth annual Apple Festival at Lacey's Old Schoolhouse Museum, the Forked River Firehouse and the grounds in between. An intergenerational group, including township residents from seniors to high school students, joins together to freshly make all the apple desserts for sale during the popular event. “The apples used for both pies and crisps are hand-picked earlier in the week by volunteers and the crust is a recipe from an ‘old-timer’ from Lacey,” said Ellie Greco, festival coordinator. “By Friday evening when the pies are baked, everyone is anxious to taste a pie.
