With the arrival of September we're all in the mood for fall over here! I'm prematurely donning boots and sweaters even though it's still plenty hot, but it's worth the discomfort. Start getting in the mood with us! Grab a pumpkin latte at New Morning Bakery and pop on over to Grass Roots and check out the tons of new titles we just got in.
Fall coming in also means some great events in Corvallis:
Corvallis Farmer's Market continues Wednesdays and Saturdays through November
OSU Football August through November
Quilt County 2013 August through October
Cycle and Sip September 1-21
Corvallis Beer Week September 9-15
Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire September 14-15 (Neé and I are working and so bummed to be missing it, so come in and tell us all about it!)
Rhapsody in the Vineyard September 21
Corvallis Fall Festival September 28-29
U-Pick Pumpkins & Corn Mazes (Neé's favorite) October
The Great Pumpkin Run October 13
Halloween with Harry [Potter] (Kendall's favorite) October 27
Trick or Treat Downtown October 31
Neé is so excited for picking pumpkins and doing the mazes, while I can't wait to attend my first Halloween with Harry (where the OSU Symphony Orchestra plays the music of Harry Potter). Mostly though, I'm excited to see the way this town is beautifully transformed in autumn. There are already some leaves changing color and falling to the ground. Their golden and fiery hues make fall seem more like a season of life and rebirth, than of death. And the beauty makes school starting up again a little more tolerable.
