Last call, Gilmer County — this is the final weekend of the 55th Georgia Apple Festival. Today and tomorrow are your last chances to catch it at the Ellijay Lions Club Fairgrounds before it wraps up for the year on Sunday at 5pm. More than 250 vendors, handmade crafts, live music, festival food, and plenty of apple treats. Downtown, the Apple Arts Festival runs the same days with free admission — and your dog is welcome to come along.
