There was a lot going on, Aug. 23, especially for local country band the Mark Hall Band, who played three fundraisers. 
I made a point of catching their set at Applefest in Galt Gardens.
That was the last of three gigs they had on a drizzly Aug. 23. They played a solid set of rocking country covers including lots of Dwight Yoakam, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley.
There were lots of attractions for Applefest including a silent auction and various booths offering a plethora of environmentally related items and services.
