The CK Daily – Fall Festivals are Here!
Happy Friday, folks! Tomorrow marks the first official day of Fall. Football season is in full force, our temperatures are cooling off, and it’s fall festival season!
There are lots of fall events in our area that we’ll be visiting over the next several weeks. I enjoy walking through booths to see what locals create and trying new (mostly fried) foods! One of my favorite fall foods to eat is pumpkin pie. 🥧 I know pumpkin pies can be made any time of the year, but eating them in any other season doesn’t seem right. 😀
What fall activities are on your list? If you’re in the Atlanta area, here is a list of 60+ fall events.
And here is a fun, upbeat song from Earth, Wind & Fire – September to get your day going.
Have a great weekend!
Chris
