We always enjoy the Pendleton Harvest Festival.
This year, they added a scavenger hunt, presented by a local leadership club. We liked it very much, although I think they can tweak it for next year. For our 4 entry fees totalling $12 (I think), we got three T-shirts (I didn't taken a 4th, although we could have), the scavenger hunt of local historical landmarks, and 8 chances in a raffle! Christopher won a $25 certificate at a local pizza place, and John won a frisbee game! Plus, the scavenger hunt was a little ambitious. I think they could have had 6 or 7 stops on the route, instead of 9.
Anyway, the fall festival was definitely more fun this year than just walking around and looking at local crafts.
We met Henry, June, and Georgie there.
Here are John and Christopher sharing a mint chocolate brownie from the Village Bakery.
Our other fall favorite, that we sometimes miss because of admission price, is the Denver Downs Corn Maze, presented by a local farm in September and October each year. They had definitely added attractions since the last time we had been (two years ago?).
The hay barn is always a favorite.
John likes the trolley, but you have to be at least 5 to do it, letting Christopher out.
"Where's John?"
A smaller hay stack for the enthusiastic but novice climbers.
This is the selfie of Christopher and me on the cow train.
New to us this year was the giant corn cob pillow. It was really good for bouncing!
The duck races are a perennial favorite.
And the eponymous corn maze! We started getting lost after the first stop. However, we found 6, 7, 8, and 12, about three times each. I was seriously starting to worry that we might not find our way out...
I love fall!

what a fun time! wish we could have some of that small time entertainment...
Wow. Neat that there are a lot of good outdoorsy things to do. J & C are at a good age to enjoy such, and are enjoyable to participate with.
Looks like fun! I LOVE to see these happy photos of you and your kids! The "selfy" is especially cute!
I agree about the weather. The few weeks of "fall" in the south is a great time to be outside!
They have one of those big bouncy pillow things at our Puxton Park. Ada really likes it. Though here it's kind of annoying because since it's often so wet it's closed or a hassle.
