and the winner is...

Having grown up in the Northeast I consider myself a fall festival aficionado. My husband however, is from the Houston, TX area and is still new to the autumn festivities. He loves the fall just as I do, but has yet to experience enough festivals to really adopt any discernment regarding their quality. In an effort to support his quest to find the "perfect" festival, I have allowed him to drag me to every festival within a 30 mile radius of us, and even one in New Hampshire this season. As you may suspect most were merely local gatherings, but one or two stood out.

And the one that I enjoyed most was the Nasbhoba Valley Winery Bluegrass & Blues Fall Festival. In true fall fest form it had a little something for everyone. Couples, families, dogs, everyone! Being at a winery there were wine tours, but there was even beer on tap. Seasonal brews were offered of course. There was apple picking, and face painting for the kids. You could get your cider donut or caramel apple fix. It was not the place to go if you're looking for local crafts. But, if you're just looking for a fun day with friends, your significant other, or your family (even the dog), complete with a picnic lunch and even some fun music, I would suggest it.
