The leaves in this area are beginning to explode into amazing color. This weekend's drizzly weather hasn't been ideal, but it hasn't concealed the fact that this is going to be a spectacular foliage season in Vermont.
Yesterday, Brandon hosted a number of fall events, including the Chicken Chasers Barn Dance and Silent Auction. The chicken-related artwork that had been hanging all over town during the summer (part of the "What's Hatchin' in Brandon" project) was taken down and auctioned off. In place of the chickens, residents participating in the "Make Your Own Leaf Person" project have decorated the town with elaborately costumed scarecrow-like "leaf people." (Many of the convincingly designed Leaf People are positioned near crosswalks, making for somewhat slower than usual driving through Brandon's village.)
Last night, we drove our sons down to
Hathaway Farm (north of Rutland just off Route 7) for a nighttime trek through the 12-acres of corn maze there. Hathaway Farm does a good job with its maze and places a Snack Shack tent inside the maze itself. The boys had a great time.
