Autumn is a period of renewal. From the time we are kids, this season holds special significance. The school year has just begun, presenting seemingly infinite possibilities for academic and athletic achievement. This is also one of the last chances to get outside in the fresh air before winter weather arrives in earnest.

So, with these thoughts in mind, you should take advantage of the opportunity to attend the 2016 Fall Fest.

Whether with the family, alone or on a date, Fall Fest on Bedner's Farm will make for long-lasting, pleasant memories. To further get you in the mood, here are some of the many activities at this always exciting festivity.

Pumpkin Patch Events

Good, old-fashioned country fun awaits participants in the Pumpkin Patch events.

Try your hand at tetherball, rekindling your days on the schoolyard. Win a prize in the rubber duck races. Best of all, be sure to take the hayride to the venue to enjoy the full pumpkin patch experience.

Gardening Exhibitions

Some of the most knowledgeable gardeners in the community will be at Fall Fest to provide instruction on the latest horticultural techniques.

Learn how to arrange a floral wreath. Also, get the inside scoop on maintaining a container garden. No need to bring a container, because the staff will provide a ten-inch one for all attendees.

Last, but not least, find out about the local greenhouses that keep plants and flowers safe year-round.
