Middle of October

Hard to believe it is the middle of October already.  Apple Harvest Festival here and gone, the runners at the YWCA Breast Cancer Awareness 5K had a chilly race on Saturday morning, but we finished up the weekend with some great weather. 

Upcoming this weekend is the Blue and Gray Half Marathon starting at Straban Township Park.  9a.m. start time through some beautiful Adams County countryside. 

Halloween is right around the corner.  Please be aware of trick-or-treat participants in neighborhoods walking and possibly in darker clothing and not as visible. Let's make sure all the kids, big and small, get home safely.

Have a great evening!

Seasonal

Things have become very seasonal here in Adams County.  The Pippen Fest in Fairfield came and went, the first weekend of the National Apple Harvest Festival is over, the mornings are much cooler, the leaves are changing, and the Halloween decorations are up.  What a great time of year here!  There is still time to check out a local corn maze, get some great locally grown apples, perhaps a pumpkin for the kids to draw on and have the parents carve, or just take a drive and enjoy the beauty of Adams County as the leaves change.  As we get closer to November, keep an eye out for our locally grown white tail deer population.  The next month or two are traditionally the worst time for vehicle accidents in Pennsylvania involving deer.  Take care, have safe travels, and enjoy this beautiful time of year!
