There are outdoor activities and events that showcase the beautiful fall colors in the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as farmers markets and festivals that feature the fall harvest at local farms and orchards.
Many of us take for granted our beautiful SWVA landscape and the various offerings of my hometown. It's a great time to get outside in Virginia's Blue Ridge and enjoy the beautiful weather and overall excitement for this special part of the year. It is such an inspiring time for both young and old alike."
