Althought it is 80 degrees on this last weekend in September, everything around town exudes the Fall season. Our downtown light poles are decorated (thank you Big Springs Farm, Lanesboro FFA and Lanesboro Businesses Promotion Group) with cornstalks, straw bales, pumpkins, and mums; the farmers are out harvesting corn (look for combines!); and our restaurants and food establishments are offering up fall flavors (butternut squash, apple cider, pumpkin spice and more!).
One thing you definitely do not want to miss is a trip to Big Springs Farm Pumpkins and Corn Maze! Located just outside of town in rural Lanesboro, this family farm has something for all ages to enjoy. My favorite is the giant slide, full corn maze while trying to solve a mystery, the delicious snacks, and the tractor wagon ride.
Twin Cities Frugal Mom recently visited, and she has a great story about her visit to Big Springs Farm you can read here.
There is still so many fun things to come in and around Lanesboro to celebrate the Fall season!
