Apple festival

The small village of Wheathill is host to the annual apple festival. On the fourteenth day (and night) of the seventh month, the village hosts about four times its usual popolation to enjoy all apple related treats one could think of.
All inns are fully booked month in advance and those with family in the village can consider themselves lucky to have a place to sleep. Living rooms are full with relatives spending the night. The few field near the village that aren't apple orchards are packed with tents of tourists.
In the weeks leading up to the festival, the village is already busy with seasonal workers that help harvesting the apples. The festival opens with the traditional first barrel of cider from last year's harvest. The first sip is had by the major and poured by head harvester Fif Conil. Apple pie baking contests are held between amature and professional bakers from the surrounding villages. The sugar from the sweet pies helps to build a protective layer in the stomach that increases ones capacity for alcohol intake from the apple cider. While the adults drink cider, the children drink apple juice, play games and participate in challenges. A popular game is rotten apple throwing (subcategories: target precision and distance). Woodcarving workshops teach people to create their own tools or toys and get rid of the trees that did not survive the winter cold. Another popular game is apple rolling, where one wraps themselves in blankets (preferably green or red) and races down the hills like a snowball.
Street food vendors sell fresh apple slices, roasted apples and candied apples. Side flavours are often honey-based as the village is home to beekeepers and their bees that pollinate the apples flowers.
