Villager Ventures: The Fall Fair Feature 2024

By: Hillary Handy

With the changing of the seasons, we are looking forward to Fall and all the fun it will bring. One tradition we hold in our home is checking out at least one local Fall Fair. You may have read about our adventures in a past issue, but we want to make sure you are able to attend this year and have the dates ahead of time for your calendar.

The Fair is a great family outing, it is fairly affordable to attend and you can spend the whole day there or just an hour. There are loads of activities once you are there, as well as options to purchase food or items from local vendors. You can try your hand at various activities you may have never done before and you are supporting the local farming industry as well as artisans.

So bust out your plaid flannel and cowboy boots and make sure you can check out at least one of our region’s Fall Fairs in September and into October.
