Good Day Everyone!
Well, it's that time of year again. Apple Butter, Clogging, Bluegrass Music, Hayrides, Pumpkins... MY FAVORITE! What a great time to spend with your significant other or family! I have compiled a list of the latest and greatest apple festivals going on in and around the Commonwealth.
Flippin-Seaman Orchard (yes...that's the name) has always been a favorite of mine as I have frequented there the past couple of years. The drive is so beautiful...especially when the leaves are chaning! This year I wont be able to make it because I will be attending the Belmont Boil at my mother's coffeehouse on Saturday. Maybe next year! Below is a list of festivals and you should make at LEAST one! Hope to see you there!

Wow, I didn't know there were than many festivals! Looks like my weekends will be filled chasing after Ethan (my 17 month old that has two gears: going and asleep). Should be fun!
Soon this will be you and Davin...:)
