It’s officially October and besides preparing for Halloween, our thoughts are on the ENC’s 44th Fall Faire & Pumpkin Patch . . .

October 13th from 10m to 3pm

As I was looking back at my photos from last year’s event I realized that I probably took too many pictures (sorry kids), but I also marveled at how much actually goes on at this event. If you haven’t been to this annual festival, or are trying to decide whether to fit it into your busy schedule, I highly suggest doing so. Here’s a snippet of what we enjoyed the most:

The Craft Crawl

For just $5 you get a reusable ENC tote and can visit any or all of the craft stations set up throughout the Center. Along the way, be sure to look out for pages from a special book to read.

The Animals

The Petting Zoo and Pony Rides were a hit with the kids (despite the smell 🙂 ), and I personally love the presentations from the OC Bird of Prey Center (although restless children do make it hard to hear).
