Hi Olympia. With less than a week before the official start of fall, it’s already begun to feel like the season is changing. I’ve noticed some more fall colors on my usual driving routes and my chickens have started roosting a bit earlier each night. Our events calendar has already started making a change into more indoor activities. You can find the full calendar here but here are a few highlights for this weekend.
