Snapshot: First lady dips 250,000th apple at Conner Prairie

Indiana First Lady Janet Holcomb ceremonially dips the 250,000th caramel apple at the Conner Prairie Apple Store. Holcomb was invited to visit the store Sept. 17 to help commemorate the milestone. The Apple Store is the primary fundraiser for its operator, the Conner Prairie Alliance. Founded in 1982, the Conner Prairie Alliance has raised more than $1.3 million for Conner Prairie. In 1985, the group opened the Apple Store. In 2018, the store sold more than 12,000 caramel apples and 1,024 gallons of apple cider. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
