We are almost into mid-October, and the color changing proceeds every day. It is getting colder but that doesn’t mean that everybody stays home – it’s quite the contrary! The most haunted of seasons grows even more intense, the harvest celebrations continue to brighten West Michigan’s landscape, and people come together everywhere to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Get startled, have an fresh apple from a u-pick orchard or indulge in a wine tour like the one at Fenn Valley, pictured to the right. Here is a collection of things going on this weekend, starting today. Have a look, and you are ready to go!
