As much as I LOVE summer and all that happens during the summer months, fall has a special place in my heart. I love the leaves changing, the weather getting crisp but not quite bitter and most of all, the festivals. If you haven’t made your way to any this month yet, you’re in luck because there are 2 left that are worth checking out. Unfortunately the end of the month is sooner than later so make sure to check out the following festivals:
1. Erie Orchards Harvest Festival-Saturday, September 23rd
This is a great fall weekend to visit the orchard. The apples are all ripe for picking and the corn maze is open and pony and hayrides for all. They will have a magic show on Sunday for the children.

2. Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center Fall Festival
The Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center will host its first Fall Festival on Saturday, September 30, 2017 from 10 AM to 5 PM in the parking lot in front of the Center.
This family-oriented event features:
Children’s games
Both children and adults can make a fairy garden or decorate pumpkins.
Our pumpkin patch will be stocked with both typical and exotic varieties, courtesy of Rupp Seeds.
Food with an autumnal flare will be available from our neighbors at Fowl & Fodder.
The Amazing Eli will conjure up balloon creations from 11 AM until 2 PM.
This year’s main event will be the MEGA Brain, a larger-than-life, inflatable interactive exhibit of the human brain. Visitors will have the chance to learn how the brain works from the inside out and what can happen when the brain is injured. This is a wonderful educational tool for teachers, healthcare professionals, parents, children or anyone that wants to know how the brain works.
Healthcare professionals will also be available to answer questions about brain injury and resources in our community.
We will also be offering fleece mermaid tails for sale. These one-of-a-kind items, crafted by TBI survivors, can be worn for Halloween or used to keep warm while relaxing at home as the evenings turn cooler.
Admission to the event is free. Proceeds from the event benefit the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center and will help to support the launch of pediatric programming. The event take place under a tent, rain or shine.
