You will find extraordinary fun at the Fall Family Festival, October 30, at Russell Crossroads! We’ve made a few changes this year that we know you will love!

Bring your family out to this one-of-a-kind event! Not only will you find a working blacksmith and a grist mill, but you’ll be treated to a Pumpkin Patch overflowing with big orange pumpkins perfect for decorating at home. The kids might be challenged to solve a riddle or two, there will be more games with cool prizes, wagon rides, pony rides, you can feed a real live camel in the petting zoo, there will be a Naturalist presentation, and lots more.

You could also win cash prizes in our Blue Ribbon Canning and Baking Contests! You know what that means – dig out your favorite recipes for granny’s pickled eggs, your favorite blackberry jam, and we always look forward to the apple pies, pound cakes, carrot cakes, turtle cheesecakes and other delights. Surprise us with your hidden talents! And, we just might have a celebrity judge or two this year!

There is a fee of $25 per family (based on a family of four), individuals are just $10, and if you need an additional pumpkin, they are just $5 each. It just gets better every year! See you from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, October 30. And please, don’t forget to bring the kids.
