The Geauga County Historical Society claims its 48th annual Apple Butter Festival Saturday and next Sunday is the largest of its kind in northeastern Ohio. Beware, the date was changed after information was compiled for the Ohio Calendar of Events. The festival will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the Century Village on the square in downtown Burton. Two hundred bushels of apples will be simmering with cider and spices in copper kettles over wood fires. In Tuscarawas County, the Gnadenhutten Historical Park will have Apple Butter Days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. next Sunday.
Admission is free.
