In my last post I said that fall was fast approaching and it sooooo is. Here in Missouri, Labor Day Weekend is going to be beautiful, at least that is what the Weather Man says. The highs are going to range from 76-82 - Cool and clear! I love it!
Unfortunately I have to work the entire weekend, so I will not get to enjoy any of it. I take that back my cousin is having his Labor Day/Birthday bash on Sunday, so I will at least be outside and with family on that day, just not at the River with the other side of my family.
Every year my cousins, who live in a small town in Missouri named Steelville, celebrate Fall with an apple butter making, hay riding, karaoke, party. It is so much fun and I get to see some cousins that I haven't seen in a long time and also some that I have never met.
Our town, Owensville, Missouri, celebrates Fall with a car show on main street, church supper at the Catholic Church, dances and of course Karaoke at the local taverns. Since my Brother-In-Law's tavern (Bogey's) is on Main Street we get a lot of business and I have to work. I really don't mind though, in fact I look forward to it every year.
Fall is my very favorite time of year, followed closely by Winter.
What does your family or town do to Celebrate Fall? Let me know.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I appreciate it.

Wow Bridget,
ReplyDeleteWhen is your cousin's fall celebration in Steelville? You know that is where I graduated from high school? We talked about this before, right? I am recently in touch with a couple of friends from Steelville on Facebook. Do you know any Halbert's?
Have you ever heard of Mound Ridge Camp on the Meremac River? My parents lived there for 25 years and that is where I lived when I was in high school. My Dad was year round caretaker. Of course, we floated the Meremac and visited Meremac Springs many times.
I wish I could visit, but as you see from my response in the discussion, my itinerary is very full already. Maybe I can make it to a reunion next spring.
