Wow! What great weather this weekend – sunny, not too hot/not too cold – perfect fall days. And the foliage wasn’t too bad…drive south a bit and you’d see quite a bit of color. On Sunday we went to the Warner Fall Foliage Festival. I have to admit that the magazine has written about this annual event before, but I had never attended. We arrived just in time for the super hero parade at 1 p.m., then made our way to the midway at 2 p.m. We bought an “all you can ride” wristband for the kids, and they made themselves nauseous by riding every single ride at least once. (My son was so dizzy after the dizzy dragon ride that he couldn’t climb down the stairs – classic!) And, of course, we gorged on hand cut french fried, corn dogs (surprisingly addictive), cotton candy, fire roasted pizza, ice cream and kettle corn. But the best part about the event? It was a wonderful community event. All of Warner participated, from the businesses that line Main Street to the hundreds of volunteers in Warner Power t-shirts. Surrounding towns sent their fire trucks for the parade, and their vendors for the arts & crafts market. Thousands of people drove, walked and took the shuttle buses down to the action in downtown Warner – and everyone was happy and polite. We decided this was one of our favorite events this year. 
Foliage and fun
