"In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October." - Alexander Smith, 19th Century Scottish Poet
And a very fine October arrives this weekend, beckoning us to wander the byways of Warren County, in search of apples and fresh cider, pumpkins to pick and corn mazes to challenge us, music and theater to entertain and enrich, and memories to soak up along with the sun's rays in our mental storehouse for the months ahead. Read on to discover what awaits you, and don't forget our Fall Farm Fun page too. A special note: Thanks to all who visited the Explore Warren tent at last weekend's Festival in the Borough, and we welcome all new Warrren County Wanderers! Congratulations to Jeanette Nolan of Washington, winner of the prize drawing (hayride, apple pick, cider and donuts) courtesy of Mackey's Orchard in Belvidere. Happy Wanderings!
