Enon Apple Butter Festival
After canceling last year’s festivities due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Enon Community Historical Society will bring back the popular Enon Apple Butter Festival.
This festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, rain or shine. Parking is free.
Starting at midday, the kettles of apple butter are finished one at a time. Thousands of jars of apple butter are immediately sealed in glass jars and sold to the public.
The Apple Butter Festival is the main fundraiser for the Enon Community Historical Society and many of the food and craft booths are also fundraisers for local groups.

Pumpkin Walk - Shop Hop
The Pumpkin Walk kicked off Thursday and continues through Saturday evening in downtown Urbana.
Eighteen local businesses are participating in the “shop hop” this year. Visitors can get stamps on a “passport” as they visit various shops, then be entered to win a grand drawing. Live music and food trucks will also be downtown in conjunction with the event.
Entertainment included live performances from Bill Purk and the Muleskinners, folksinger Daniel Dye and Grampy Bone, with Eleyet McConnell.
