This time of year the mornings are cooler but still warm enough to wear only a light sweater or two, when attending one of the many events going on in our community.  Where is the sunshine the weather reporter promised us today with a high of 20…..MMMM I think they were wrong again.

Well this is not my favorite time of year with the shorter days and the cooler nights.  However the leaves are beautiful, with stunning colors dotting the harvested landscapes of the rural communities.  There is a lot going on in the Wellington County community this Fall, here are 5 top things you can mark on your calendars, and take advantageous of all of the adventures in our backyard!
