More than 200 fruit samples surround Susan Anderson of Silverdale, left, and John Landua as they volunteer at the Peninsula Fruit Club’s Fall Fruit Show on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The event was well-attended and was at the West Side Improvement Club building, 4109 W. E St., in Bremerton. Volunteers sliced off bits of apples, grapes and other fruit for visitors to taste.

Anderson said she wasn’t a fruit expert, but she was comfortable offering samples. “I can do that. If they (visitors) want to know about (fruit tree) diseases, I can’t say anything. I just point them to the experts,” Anderson said.

The Peninsula Fruit Club is a chapter of the Western Cascade Fruit Society. The Peninsula Fruit Club will have a spring grafting show 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 5, 2016. At the grafting show, attendees may learn how to graft fruit trees and buy apple and pear rootstock.

The Peninsula Fruit Club meets second Thursdays at 7 p.m. (except in December) at the Sheridan Park Community Center at 680 Lebo Boulevard in Bremerton and can be reached via email at peninsulafruitclub@gmail.com.
