10. Attend a Fall Festival or Fair

Slide 10 of 10

Fall is the season for festivals. Correction 1: With all the delicious flavors of the season, you are bound to find a festival that you and your grandkids will love. Common themes include pumpkin, apple, and chili festivals this time of year.

We lived about half an hour away from Morton, Illinois, the pumpkin capital of the world. Every September, they have the pumpkin festival, a four-day event with all kinds of things going on.

There is a pumpkin princess pageant, carnival rides and games on the midway, entertainment, a pumpkin weigh-off competition, a parade, etc. As for the food, you can get all kinds of things with pumpkin like donuts, pie, pancakes, and even chili! They also have non-pumpkin foods as well. If you love pumpkin, this is the place to be.

The fair is another idea to take your grandkids to if there is one near you in the fall. Growing up in Pennsylvania, our big state fair was in the fall in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. We would go every year and look around, eat amazing food, and usually take in a show or two in the grandstand during the week. The Bloomsburg fair is enormous, and there is so much to see, like craft vendors, farm animals, other vendors, carnival rides, games, etc. They also have an impressive lineup of entertainment every year as well. If you live in Pennsylvania or get to visit during the fall, go to the fair and check it out. Also, if you have a fair going on near you, take your grandkids and go. Neither of you will be bored.

The fair is a great place to go in the fall because it’s not as hot as it is in the summer. The most you will have to worry about is maybe some rain, but other than that, it’s worth it.

There are all kinds of fun activities you can do to make special fall memories with your grandkids. Whether it’s a day at the pumpkin patch or a cozy sleepover, your grandkids will love it as long as they are with you. Of course, you will love it too, especially if you aren’t able to see them all that often. Are they coming to visit soon? Sit down with this list and plan your next outing before they arrive. You will be glad you did.
