Autumn Obsessed
The time has come to put away the flip flops and don the boots. Trade t-shirts for fleece. Feel the crunch of leaves under your feet. Use the fireplace for the first time, put a pot of chili on the stove, pick pumpkins, bake apple pie, go for a hayride...you get the idea. Things that top our Fall Fun list this weekend:
SATURDAY
Old Fashioned Harvest Market - in Underhill begins at 9:00 am with a parade and includes children's games, a pet show, music, a flea market, fresh pressed cider, baked goods, maple cotton candy, pizza, as well as the Cookie Factory (cookies, brownies, and whoopee pies!)
Stowe Oktoberfest - From oompah bands to authentic German foods, pumpkin and face painting and even a kinderplatz for kids. The parade begins at 10:00 am.
