EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER


38th Annual Apple Festival!

 

September 9, 10 & 11

 

Seymour is known as the "Land of the Big Red Apple", so in 1972 a festival celebrating our long history with this scrumptious fruit was started. The annual festival has evolved into one that regularly sees more than 15,000 visitors a day with many returning year after year. Held the second weekend in September, our festival has free entertainment including live music, a pet show, and a 5K fun run. There are also contests which include apple pie baking and the ever popular "World Championship" apple peeling contest. Visitors can also find some of the best food to be found anywhere, along with every possible way to prepare apples including pies, cobblers, slushes, fritters, and more.

On October 23, 2008 the City of Seymour was notified that funding had been approved for a FEMA Tornado Safe Room.  On September 11, 2009 we received notification that final approval had been given to all aspects of the shelter and construction could begin.  The architectural work was done by Bates & Associates and the engineering was done by Great River Engineering.  Dock Brothers Construction is doing the actual construction of the facility, and doing a great job despite the unusually wet weather they have had to deal with.

 

We would also like to thank Webster County Emergency Management, especially Linda Watts, for all their help on this project.
