Trenton – It may have felt more like a summer afternoon instead of a crisp fall morning but fall was in the air nonetheless during the first ever downtown Trenton Fall Marketfest. An apple pie baking contest, scarecrow making, scavenger hunt, antique tractors, fall produce and pancake breakfast drew in large crowds to enjoy the fall event. Market vendor Donna Brickman said the event was a great idea. “I think it’s awesome, it helps everybody to get down here, to get people out to see what we do sell down here from May to the end of October,” she said. “We need more vendors and we would like to see more people down here to our market.” Derek Cox attended the event with his family and also family friends. The large group were completing the scavenger hunt which was based around the local vendors. “I wanted to come out today because it’s like summer weather again, it’s nice to be outside when it’s sunny and nice and we go to the Belleville Farmers’ Market all the time but our friends live in Trenton so we are checking it out today,” said Cox.

judging the apple pie contest and choosing a winner. “It’s a great event, a great idea,” she said. “There’s some really cool things down here, I think it’s wonderful, the whole market is really busy and it looks wonderful and full, I love a fall market.” Angeline Rae took home first place in the apple pie baking contest, which she said her daughter entered her into.
“It feels very good, I didn’t think I’d win, I’ve never done it before,” she said. “I’ve been baking since I was 12 and I’m 82,” Rae laughed, and said she didn’t know what was the secret that made her pies so good. “I just make them, I’ve been doing that all my life with the same pie, the same crust and everything, they seem to like it.”
