Everyone is busy doing last minute cleaning up the yards and putting things away. The leaves are beginning to change and fall is in the air. Not long ago, Grandpa's used to have the tee pee... Do they still have it? We'd go visit the tee pee and then watch the cider being made, then off to pick out the perfect pumpkins.

Don't forget the Scarecrows are at The Apple Shed. The hayrides used to always be a lot of fun and the apples, cider and donuts are the best. Pick out a good pumpikin for the kids' Jack-o-lantern.

Another Fall Foliage Train ride this weekend, and mark your calendars for the ride on Oct. 27 - dress up in costume to ride the Halloween Express.
