Complete with hayrides, live music, tasty local food options and a scarecrow contest, the festival is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the family. Plus, if you’ve got a munchkin who’s excited about fungus, there are exhibits of more than 350 mushrooms they can check out, with experts on hand to identify the little caps. Be sure to catch a guided nature walk — Mount Pisgah’s guides know nearly everything about the local flora. And for gardeners, there’s a plant sale with local vendors ready to supply your autumn plant needs.
