Matters of Graves Importance: Fall Festival of Leaves, Adult Trick or Treat on tap
The town of Bainbridge knows what to do when the third Saturday of October comes around, celebrate the Fall Festival of Leaves! This three-day event features arts and crafts, entertainment, a flea market, midway rides, parades, an antique tractor show, a log sawing contest, an antique and classic car show, a 5K run, four self-guided "Skyline Drives," a queen contest, and a prince/princess pageant. I happily emcee the latter. Head west this weekend and experience all that the Fall Festival of Leaves has to offer. You will not be disappointed.
Thursday
Tonight is FRIGHT NIGHT ADULT TRICK OR TREAT in downtown Chillicothe! Over 20 businesses will be participating and each location will have its own specials, tricks, and treats.
