A section of Shenandoah Valley heritage will feature apple butter making, spinning, wine making, and living history. �Festival-goers can take a hay ride, buy pumpkins and local apples, and even ride our old fashioned Circus Bandwagon across Virginia�s longest covered bridge to Maize Quest, where they will experience an �deep-sea adventure�-themed corn maze,� said Joe Proctor, general manager of Shenandoah Caverns and American Celebration on Parade.
