With fall weather moving in, it’s pumpkin season. Fall
festivals are in full swing including Oktoberfests, pumpkin patches, and
haunted houses. Here are some of the best things you can do with your family
this fall.
Trailing of the Sheep
Second to Sydney, Australia in sheep ranches is the state of
Idaho, and every year, the Wood River Valley hosts the Trailing of the Sheep
Festival to honor this tradition. The sheep and human population ratio is
practically 1:1, so it’s a huge celebration including both species.
Family events include storytelling, championship sheepdog
trials, culinary demonstrations, and a sheep parade. Third generation sheep
farmers sponsor this parade in hopes of bringing visitors through Ketchum,
Idaho to the sheep’s winter home, raising awareness and having fun.
North Carolina Pecan Harvest Festival
Pecan pie is as southern as sweet tea, and the North
Carolina Pecan Harvest Festival celebrates the pecan harvest in the most
delightful way. With a pecan run, a cooking contest, and a car show,
southerners, and those who appreciate this southern tradition, can enjoy these
good eats.
Kids can get up close and personal with animals in the
petting zoo and participate in a hands-on exhibit to learn about natural sciences
while their parents tour the quintessential southern homes. Wrap up your day
with the pecan queen’s lunch and a parade.
Adirondack Balloon Festival
The Adirondack Balloon Festival has been around for almost
fifty years. Balloon pilots come from all around the world to participate in
Glen Falls, New York. Enjoy music as more than twenty hot air balloons take
flight to kick off the four-day festival.
Stick around to see eighty balloons launch, including shaped
balloons as well as moonglow displays in the night sky. Honor the beauty of
these balloons with food vendors, pancake breakfasts, crafts, and more! It’s
fun for the whole family all week long!
Celebrate this season together with your family in your
comfy Tommy
jeans and enjoy the cooler weather, beautiful
colors, and bountiful harvest.
