Hit A Local Craft Fair Or Festival
Fall is the time when countless communities put on loads of events, like craft fairs, local festivals, and farmers’ markets. Pay attention to what’s going on in your town, and check them out!
You can simply enjoy strolling around if you don’t want to buy anything. Or, if you are able to spare a couple of bucks, there are sure to be tasty fall snacks, adorable decor pieces, and perhaps even some special attractions.
Host A Fall-Themed Competition
There are no two things that scream autumn better than chili and pumpkins. If you like either, why not host a bit of a competition?
For a cool afternoon, invite some friends over to participate in a pumpkin carving contest. You don’t even have to purchase any carving tools or template patterns from your local grocery store.
All you’ll really need is a pumpkin and a knife for yourself. You can make the event BYOP (bring your own pumpkin) and encourage everyone to create the best original design.
Or, if you’re more of a comfy fall evening lover, a chili cookoff is a great idea. All of your guests can prepare their chili at their own homes before coming over to your place.
Set up a blind sampling, have people cast their votes on anonymous paper ballots, and crown the chili king or queen.
Get Out To A Sports Game
The NFL theme song blaring from your living room TV may have been a Sunday staple in your house growing up, but you don’t have to blow hundreds of dollars on pro league tickets to get into the football spirit.
