Halloween and Fall Festival Schedule

The summer doldrums are over, and it's getting cool enough to venture out of the air conditioning! Halloween is coming up, and there will be all sorts of outdoor activities in the following weeks.

Harvest Festival:  The Harvest Festival is a free event, and you'll find a little something for everyone. You don't have to wear a costume, but it will certainly add to the fun!
