We're to the wise, buy it up in the store instead of being quarters at the vending machines. They have local wines from dragonfly, they have local honey. The people there are very friendly.

TONS of info, multiple HUMUNGOUS tanks of fish, and a well-stocked gift shop selling everything from frozen fish to local wines/crafts, and pond supplies. A great place to visit if you're in the area... Kids from 1-100 will enjoy this unique spot!!

It gets very crowded and in recent years that would scare me away, but the vendors and patrons are very friendly. My only negative is, I wouldn't bring multiple kids that are 5-12 years old, its so crowded keeping track of them would be difficult and I think many kids would be bored. (Maybe your kids are different) The town of Waynesville was so charming, I want to come back to town when the festival isn't going on and check it out.

There was a couple of popcorn vendors, not as much as i imagined, yet was still a great experience! I'm disabled, so i was glad to see that they had handicapped accessible porta pottys. It was definitely hard to get up some of the hills, but I enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be back next year!

I also was disappointed in the amount of popcorn available at the festival, especially would love…read moreto see more raw popcorn kernels offered, but a very nice festival overall with plenty to do and well laid out. I would like to visit again, and hoping to find more popcorn at this popcorn festival.

Finally got to actually see the festival after 6 years of marching it!! The Jackson Apple Fest…read moreholds a special place in my heart as one of the biggest parades I got to march in middle and high school, and the true appreciation the community has for the bands and other groups that perform. Actually walking through the festival, I have to admit, was a little disappointing. I love fair food as much as the next person, but I was really hoping to see more booths about the community, the apples, and maybe more music considering what an important role the marching bands play in this celebration. I saw only one booth selling apples, out of dozens of booths. I didn't see anything explaining the significance of apples to the festival or Jackson. Most of the booths were the same fair foods, church advertisements, or cheap Ali Express knick knacks sold at a higher price. The rides were squeakier than my hometown county fair's, so you definitely couldn't catch me on them. I definitely didn't hate the festival, but I just wish it had more community and celebration aside from the parade. From the band/marcher side, I was sad to see after several years, they still have not invested in more covers for the wires on the ground. Even as a pedestrian, I was tripping over them, and I remember how dreaded these wires were during parade marching. I really hope they cover these to avoid accidents and just provide easier mobility. The groups that perform deserve that. In my opinion, the parade is what makes this festival. Bands compete for ratings, but they also have fun and celebrate each other. I recommend coming after 7 for the parade. There are lots of floats, lights, and fantastic musicians. That is where I really feel community.

Where are the APPLES?! The Apple Festival has slowly turned into a fair. Good luck finding a candy…read moreapple in that place! Only found 2 places at the entire event that sold candy/caramel apples. What a let down. If someone opened an apple only kiosk they would corner the market. Truly a let down. There's always the pumpkin show which never fails to disappoint.

I've been to the Millersport Sweet Corn Festival a couple of times. Frankly, I enjoyed this one…read moremore. It seems smaller, but there were many good food vendors. Also other vendors and events. It is very kid-friendly, and dog-friendly. We were there for the corn, but mainly for the amazing corn dogs from Bite Me, a "gourmet" corn dog tent. Someone talked me into entering the corn eating contest. It was a weird, team event with several heats, so there really weren't any winners (or we were all winners, right?) The corn was good, the competitors were friendly, it was well-organized, and I had fun. Afterward we had a couple of corn dogs, including Sweetie's first-ever. A few sweet treats, a little wandering amongst the crowds, and we were off.

I was a little disappointed. I was surprised that only one booth was selling cooked corn. The booth…read morethat was selling fresh corn had it priced a bit high. I agree with supporting local businesses but the price was almost double what you would pay elsewhere. There was a nice selection of food. Everything from pork chops to BBQ and the regular carnival type fare. There were quite a few vendors. Tutus seemed to be the theme this year. Overall, it was a little disappointing. We may or may not be back next year.
