Treadway Fall Festival

I was just wanting to run an idea past the Treadway clan. I was thinking that it would be nice to have our own Fall Festival right here at the home place. I was thinking that we could have a hay ride, corn hole, make apple butter, have lots of games for the lil' ones(would need some ideas from those with lil' ones) and even have games for those not so lil' ones. Rita even suggested that I throw out some pumpkin and gourd seeds in the orchard and the lil' ones and big ones could go and pick their own pumpkins and carve them.

I was thinking it would be nice to have it the third weekend in October, this would take the place of the Family Reunion that we have Labor Day weekend. If October is not work out for everyone we could still have it Labor Day weekend but it would be Family Reunion/Fall Festival. I would also like to have it for the entire weekend not just a few hours one day. People travel a long ways to see each other and then they only spend a few hours together, we don't get together that often, so for those that can we will just have a weekend long celebration. I think it would be a "hoot".

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Oh, by the way we would still have the white elephant then also, everyone seems to enjoy it.

Before I let everyone go I also wanted to invite everyone that can to a Christmas/New Years Party Saturday, December 31 at 1:00. I would like to suggest that everyone bring their favorite soup (in a crock pot) or finger foods and your favorite drinks. Please let me know if this works out for everyone or if you plan on attending so I will know what to do.
