Once I got over summer's sudden dissolve, it was easier for me to embrace the amber warmth of fall, especially with all the festivities planned throughout Stratford and area in the coming weeks.
In fact, the multitude of events have transformed my September calendar into what looks like a football playbook sketch! Watch for a series of posts on all the fantastic activities you won’t want to miss, starting with Birtch Farms' Apple Festival, September 18 and 19.
You might have caught last year’s blog post about Birtch Farms and one of its treasured fall festivals. If you have kids or are in love with autumn delights, you'll want to put it at the top of your to-do list this weekend.
And it's only the tip of the cornucopia. We’ve also got the Stratford Rotary Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday, as well as the delicious outdoor Stratford Garlic Festival.
To top it off, this weekend marks only the start of a week's worth of culinary events in Stratford, leading up to Savour Stratford, September 25 and 26: the Mac Daddy of all culinary festivals in Ontario.
So pull out your warm sweaters, rubber boots and fall palate for a gastronomic adventure that'll leave you hungry for harvest hootenanny.
MUST go to Birch Farms this year!!
