With the leaves changing colors and the air getting colder, it is not hard to tell that fall has arrived. To celebrate this fall season, many fall festivals are starting back up after taking a year off due to Covid. There are a lot of festivals that take place around Warren County. From pumpkin farms to art festivals, there are different types of festivals for everyone to enjoy.
At the Sheffield Memorial Park, there was the annual Johnny Appleseed festival that took place on Friday, October 8 through Sunday October 10. On Friday, the festival kicked off with opening ceremonies and registration for the weekend’s cornhole tournament. The cornhole tournament took place Friday, at 5 p.m., along with a professional Lumberjack and Lumberjill competition soon after. On Saturday and Sunday, there was a breakfast concession stand served by Sheffield Rotary. At 10 a.m. on Saturday, the Professional Lumberjack and Lumberjill competition continued, followed by a horse pull. Later on, live bands entertained the crowd, and an apple pie baking contest took place. Ending the night, was the Lanterns to Heaven ceremony and fireworks show. Finally, on Sunday, there was a tractor pull and the finale of the Professional Lumberjack and Lumberjill competition. The event isn’t just for adults. Each day, there was a Kids’ Sawdust Pile and Fun Zone open for the children to go and play. For more information check out the festival’s website 2021 Brochure – Johnny Appleseed Festival.

The fall season is quickly approaching, leading more people to get into the festive spirit. While the weather gets colder, getting cozy with some seasonal baked goods will warm up your fall season.

Pumpkin rolls are a delicious way to bring the fall season to your family dinners, fall parties, and even just your friends who want a fall treat. The sweet pumpkin cake that gets rolled up with the sweet cream cheese filling and dusted with powdered sugar adds a bit of spice to your fall. The Squire interviewed Eisenhower’s baking and home interiors teacher, Mrs. Criswell, to get an inside scoop on baking.
