Fall Activities near Montgomery County

Fall Activities in and around Montgomery County

After this past summer and early fall we have had, it seems like we will never dry out again, but hey, at least all this rain wasn’t snow.  Who is looking for some nice Fall activities?  There is no shortage of fairs, festivals, shopping and road trips for those of us who live in southeast Pennsylvania.

This is my favorite time of year.  The weather cools off and shorts and flip fops are exchanged for jeans and running shoes.  Grab your fleece lined sweatshirt and head outdoors to some of these fabulous places and events in the month of October.
