Events this Weekend

What do you like to do with your family during the weekend? Whatever you end up doing, enjoy it and please share your thoughts and ideas with us! Here are some things I've come across this week that look like fun (many are linked to their website so you can get the specifics.)

Theater

Cathy Block's production "That's What Kids Do" this weekend at the Bristol Riverside Theater 

Cathy Block performed a great concert for us last spring. She is wonderful and this show is certainly worth checking out!

Seasonal

Cuttalossa Farm

This little remote farm is truly amazing! Not commercial in the slightest and the setting is breathtaking. Take a quarter so you can buy some food for the sheep, roosters and ducks. There is even a baby lamb there this week! It's about a half mile from Solebury Orchards.

Directions: Take Mechanicsville Road toward the river; pass the sign for Solebury Orchards farm market. Where the road makes a sharp turn to the right, go left/straight onto the the unpaved road and its small bridge. Follow the Cuttalossa Creek past the "two one-lane bridges" sign and a magnificent sight appears on the right.

Solebury Orchards

Carousel Farm Lavender Farm

Another great little spot to see exotic animals and beautiful lavender on beautiful grounds. Only open on Saturdays. Just off Mechanicsville Road.

None Such Farms Pumpkin Festival

I've never been but it looks good. Other pumpkin picking suggestions are welcome!

Fall Fun on the Farm

The Market at Del Val offers tractor-drawn hayrides out to the pumpkin patch for pick-your-own pumpkins, pony rides, inflatables, a giant corn maze, and children's activities.

Out on a Limb

The Morris Arboretum's Out on a Limb outdoor exhibit provides a bird's eye view of the forest from 50 feet above the ground. Also the Scarecrow Walk looks like fun. The whole place is great with lots to see and experience! Plus you can eat great Persian food after at one of two Persian restaurants in Chestnut Hill. 

Peddler's Village Scarecrow exhibit. Always a fun one!
