Fall has a lot to offer. Scarecrow strolls, Pumpkin Patches and more

I can’t believe it’s already end of the summer. Days are slowly getting shorter and the afternoon breeze a little colder. But fall season also bring some of our favorite activities, like apple picking with the grandkids, visiting the pumpkin patches and scarecrow festivals. We love strolling around with some hot cider or chocolate.

We made a list of some upcoming festivals and farms that you can find some these activities. Illinois has a lot to offer during fall season and you should enjoy it.
