This weekend, September 15 – 16, is an ideal time to attend a food, wine and arts & crafts festival. Hopefully the weather will continue to be great and it’s a great time to be outside enjoying the sunshine (hopefully) and the season changing to fall with all of the glorious fall colors of reds, oranges, and yellows. Have your camera ready for some great fall photos.
