Thanks to my wonderfully inquisitive friend Celia, I've found out the Ithaca Apple Harvest Festival is scheduled for the weekend of the wedding! While this is GREAT news for those of you looking for other activities throughout the weekend, this could potentially affect room reservations. The dates of Apple Fest haven't been publicized yet, so we should be fine, but this is another good reason to book your rooms early. I've posted information on room reservations in previous posts and on the special information page, so you should find all the info you need there. Remember, you can cancel your reservation up to 72 hours in advance with no penalties, so you may want to book a room even if you're not sure you'll need it.
The concurrency of the wedding and the Apple Fest is a good thing! There's plenty of delicious food and lively activities down on The Commons all weekend long. If you've never experienced it, or you're an alumnus revisiting one of the main attractions in Ithaca, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Famous kettle corn, homemade Purity ice cream apple crisp sundaes, fresh local apples and cider...mmm, I hope John and I will have a chance to scarf some kettle corn at some point during the weekend!
The Apple Harvest Festival is truly one of the most wonderful weekends in Ithaca. I do hope you'll have a chance to visit downtown Ithaca during your stay--just remember to book your room soon!
