In the months of September and October, towns across the US usually celebrate the season of autumn with festivals that revolve around harvest time. Apple festivals seem to be one of the more popular of these events. All sorts of games and hand-crafted toys for the kids can be found at just about every turn.
For the adults, the apple festivals also have a lot of craft merchandisers lined up in lanes to peddle their wares. You can find leather goods, wood carvings, clothing of all types, and just about any sort of nicknack under the sun. Oh, and let’s not forget the food! Pulled pork, hamburgers and hotdogs, apple fritters and dumplings are just a few of the goodies you can expect to find to tempt your tastebuds!
Around my town we also have corn mazes with tons of activities for kids of all ages; punkin chunkin, apple launchers, petting zoos and playgrounds. The corn mazes are pretty similar to an apple festival. Games and fun for the kiddos, and good eats for everybody.
Hope everyone has a fun time at whatever festival you find yourself going to this year! Winter is just around the corner, so enjoy this season for as long as you can!
