The North Hominy Community Center will have its annual Apple Festival breakfast beginning at 7 a.m. on Oct 16, at the center at 2670 Newfound Road near Canton. This homemade farm-style breakfast of grits, bacon, country ham, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, sliced tomatoes, coffee, juice and water will also feature fried apple pies, apple butter and apple jelly.

Cost is $7 for adults, $3.50 for those four to 12, and free for those three and under. Fried pies, apple butter and apple jelly will be available for sale. There also will be handmade crafts available plus a raffle for a hand-made baby blanket. Weather permitting, there will be apple butter making over an open fire in a large pot with a wooden stirring paddle.
