MISSOURI IN THE FALL

Colors are beginning to adorn the landscape of Missouri. Fall is in the air. Nothing is more beautiful that the fall scenery of Missouri. Take the time to enjoy it with a drive through the country side. Pack a lunch and enjoy the views!
Also great this time of the year in Missouri is the fantastic events and festivals that are held throughout this state. Beginning this weekend, Labor Day weekend, towns come alive with the smell of food being grilled, sounds of great entertainment, and arts and crafts galore.
I have put together a list of some of the things happening over the next two weeks that would make a great family adventure. Take a look and try some out. There will be more posted throughout the month! This is not by any means all of them!
September 4-6 Kansas City Irish Festival is a family festival with traditional festival food,
multiple performance stages, heritage displays, workshops and children’s
activities!
September 4-7 Santa-Cali-Gon Festival – Independence, Missouri is one of the largest arts
and crafts festivals around. It includes all the great traditional festival foods,
live entertainment and much more!
September 12 -13 Shrimp Festival – Dixon, Missouri
September 11-13, 15, 17, 18-20 39th Annual Jesse James Festival – Kearney, Missouri
September 13 Hazelwood Harvest Festival – Hazelwood, Missouri (near St. Louis)

This is just a sampling, there are many many more. This is the time to enjoy all that Missouri has to offer!
