Fall Fest at Brown's Orchards

On Saturday October 8 and Sunday October 9 Brown's Orchards North (Emigsville location) will be having their Fall Fest from 10am-3pm on Saturday and 11am-4pm on Sunday.  Brown's is offering free and low-cost entertainment including hayrides, pumpkin decorating, straw bale mountain, straw bale maze, alpacas, helicopter, firetrucks, food, games and activities, Critter Caravan (Sunday) and more.  Wristbands area available for $5 for certain games/activities for kids. 
We went to this event last year and had a blast painting pumpkins, playing on the straw mountain and racing through the maze.  This year's ad didn't mention the PNAIA Pow Wow, which was really fun too.  It's very family-friendly but avoid bringing your strollers because it was a pain to get around the rocky areas but it is possible if you must.
