A toast to the apple

> On November 7 and 8, Franklin County hosts its 15th annual CiderDays, a fantastic celebration of local apples and fresh and hard cider. Located in several Massachusetts towns around the junction of Route 2 and Interstate 91, among them Shelburne Falls, Greenfield, New Salem, and Deerfield, CiderDays features workshops for cider makers and home orchardists, tasting events, including a cider-cheese pairing, orchard tours, a harvest supper, and more.
