Fall Festivals

Northern Virginia

It's that time of year again for pumpkins, hay rides and apple cider! Have I mentioned before that my favorite apple cider is Rinker's apple cider? This is the only time of year that I can get my hands on some good cider from Rinker's! =) Fortunately, Great Country Farms in Bluemont carries them! (Yes, the photo above is not Great Country Farms, it's Pumpkin Village formerly know as Pumpkinville in Leesburg!)

Here's some of the fun things to do at Pumpkin Village! I love the hill slides and all the bounce houses there! They do have hayrides too! One for everybody and one just for the little ones!

Pumpkin Village is located right next to the Leesburg Animal Park, so on your visit to the village, you'll get to visit the animal park too! Beware when feeding the llamas there! One llama actually followed us around! Ah, and be very careful when feeding the camels, hold on to your feeding cup very well, they're very feisty and will try to grab the feeding cup from your hands! I'm speaking from personal experience! Haha!

Another fun place to visit is Great Country Farms, not just because they sell Rinker's apple cider, but they have lots of fun stuff for fall too! You can go apple picking or pumpkin picking, or just have fun on their hill slides and various play structures!

The time we visited, they had the "Oinkintucky Derby"! That was quite a fun race to watch! Like I mentioned before, there's lots of other things to do here. Don't you just love fall with the beautiful colors, the crisp air, the apple cider and all these fun places to visit! =)
