FAIR HILL — Elk Creeks Preservation Society will host its annual Apple Butter Festival Saturday Oct. 12 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at The Bee Hive.

The Bee Hive is a historic site on Telegraph Road at Little Elk Creek Road in Fair Hill. More than a century ago it was a commerce center for northern Cecil County. Elk Creeks Preservation Society is dedicated to restoring The Bee Hive. The Apple Butter Festival is a major fundraiser toward that project.

Enjoy Scottish music including bagpipes, traditional Scottish fare, plus working artisans, vendors, cider and apple butter made by hand by Elk Creeks members. The public is invited to help stir the sweet concoction in large kettles over open fires at the Apple Butter Festival and watch as it is poured into glass jars for sale.

Its beautiful country there as well as Rock Church across the street. My Mother was raise in the area and her uncle was the minister of Rock Church when she was growing up . All of the old country people are all past away and Richard Mackey own the bee hive and when he past away all of his property went to the historical Society. If you want to just to get out for a walk in beautiful country than this is the place to go to . Good apple butter and alot of vendors.

I'm going to see if my wonderful awesome boyfriend will take me for a little outing cause I'm in rehab recovering from total knee replacement surgery, just for like an hour long enough to get a jar of apple butter and sovereign. I would like a hat, bracelet or a shirt but I'll stay within my budget, because they have so many other things this month. October is such a huge month, because its turning to fall. And my most favorite holiday is this month 🎃👻💀
