The Applefest committee were busy getting all the fixings packaged up and delivered for his year's take out only breakfast at St. Patrick church. 250 pre-registered for the breakfast that also included sausage and applesauce.
The modified event continues Saturday with the apple pie sale at the chamber office on Liberty Street from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. or while supplies last.
