As
I mentioned before, fall is almost here. That often brings us festivals such as
harvest, Halloween and Oktoberfest. I often here many people either not knowing
about festivals or not attending them, which I view almost as a crime. These
types of festivals are a great way to hang out in the community, and try new
things. Some things at our local festival are hilarious, such as grape stomping
or a pie eating contest; it makes me realize what a small community it really
is, since it looks like a country scene out of a movie. At larger festivals
held, such as the Oregon Beer Festival
in Portland, they focus on beer and music and on the river front. Florida has a
festival based on Pirates, Water Sports in New York, or in Indiana they have a
festival based around Johnny Apple seed. It really is a matter of what is
available in your community, and is up to you to seek out these fun activities.
I
recommend everyone to check out harvest festivals in your community, or perhaps
traveling out to one. I think these festivals can open your eyes to new parts
of the community, other fun events, new people and do things out of the
ordinary such as watch a tractor pull, a yodeling contest or drink some local
made beer. Check this list of festivals
in the United States this fall, or just in the mood for beer, check these out.
If you are in the Southern Oregon
region, I recommend the Harvest Festival this weekend. This Sunday we will be
pouring at the beer and wine festival, as well as attending (sampling) as well.
Come check it out,
and let me know about your favorite fall festivals as well!
