I am red and round,I grow on the tree.All children and adults Adore eating me.

Apple Day is an annual celebration, of apples and

orchards. It’s held on October 21 each year.

Apple Day was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has been

celebrated in each subsequent year by people organizing hundreds of

local events.

Apple is a symbol of physical, cultural and genetic variety.

This day is a way of celebrating and

demonstrating that variety and richness

matter to a locality and that it is possible to effect change in your

place.

The first Apple Day was on October 21, 1990 in Covent

Garden, London.

Apple day celebration is something like fair, where you can buy and taste the

great variety of apple kinds.

There are many 7000 kinds of apples in the world.

Besides you can buy sprouts and take good advice how to plant

and grow them in your own garden.

You can taste delicious dishes and drinks with apples and take

recipes.

Various activities, games and competitions are popular on this

day.

The Longest Peel Competition is the most popular. Guinness World Record is held by Kathy

Walfer who peeled an apple in 11 hours 30 minutes with a peel length of 52.51m on 16

October 1976.

An old tradition is the English farmers choose the oldest apple-tree sing ballads

and dance round the tree.

Apple Day is a funny, kind and generous holiday.

Thank you for your attention!
