Harvest Festival? More like Harvest BEST-ival! (Leslie Knope, anyone?)
Even with a few hot spots here & there, it's starting to feel (& look!) like FALL in White County! There are always so many opportunities for family fun, photo sessions & picking out the perfect pumpkin, and I wanted to share a few of my favorites below. If I missed any - let me know! One of our local Facebook pages does a great job of highlighting local happenings & festival so I try to stay in the know about events there, too! I've linked to the Facebook pages for events and I encourage you to click on those (& choose "interested" or "going") to make sure you're in the loop for updates!
(Make sure to check back often as more festivals pop up - this is also a great way to show out of town visitors the best fall they've ever experienced! There's nothing quite like fall in White County!)
This year, McCulleys Amazin' Acres is celebrating 25 years of fall fun!
