This beautifully crafted ornament will be unveiled at The Apple Dumpling Festival on Saturday, October 16, and will be available for purchase between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the chamber office in downtown Stuart. The ornament costs $13 (sales tax included). The Treasured Scenes glass ball is a custom tree ornament and measures three and one-fourth inches. The frost green background hosts a beautiful display of a variety of locally grown apples within the county’s boundary. This logo is encircled with the inscription “Celebrating Apple Heritage – Patrick County.” The reverse side of the glass ornament features the Patrick County Chamber and Tourism logos, along with the 2021 commemorative date. In the early 20th century, apple growing expanded from its small farm roots to become a major business enterprise in the area. Commercial orchards began to cover many of the foothills and lower slopes of the Blue Ridge in Patrick County. Patrick County is proud to endorse our local growers.
