3 Autumn Festivals You Can’t Miss

3 Autumn Festivals You Can’t Miss

Autumn is one of the most celebrated seasons not only because it is associated with bountifulness and harvest time, but also because it offers some of the most breathtaking sights regardless of setting.

The slightly cooler weather is a perfect reason to go out and explore the countryside, and what better way to get your fill of autumn than by checking out some terrific fairs.

Punkin Chunkin – Bridgeville, Delaware

If throwing Halloween pumpkins with handmade catapults 1,000 feet in the air doesn't count as a good time than nothing can. People who have been to the festival have said that the sight often looks like an artillery range at full capacity.

Trailing of the Sheep – Ketchum and Hailey, Idaho

While most people are aware that shepherds live a very solitary life, the autumn festival is somewhat different, offering great first hand views of the sea of sheep that needs to relocate to winter pastures. After witnessing the wonderful sight, visitors can dine on fresh lamb dishes made by the locals.

Roadkill cook-off and Festival – Marlinton, West Virginia

While the name can make most people not hungry, be assured that everything served has been hunted in the woods and is as fresh as can be. This being said if armadillo tacos and squirrel gravy isn't your cup of tea, than maybe you should think twice. If trying new and interesting food in a beautiful decor sound good than you should definitely check this festival out.
