The volunteers have used about 76 bushels of apples, creating 402 ten-inch double crust pies, 200 ten-inch crumb crust pies and 50 small cutie pies of each type of crust, in addition to turnovers, apple crisps and other baked goods. The festival is Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Salem Green, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or until sold out. (Dana Jensen/The Day)
