Happy fall break, Blue Jays! You’re officially halfway done with the semester, and you have earned some well-deserved time to relax. I’ve compiled some really fun events for those of you who are staying in town, so get out and enjoy this free time!
All Break
Fall Harvest Days at Weber’s Peachberry Farm, Thursday – Sunday

Apple picking times are released on an incremental basis depending on which apples are ripe for picking, so stay tuned to Weber’s Peachberry Farm Facebook page to reserve your time slot.
