Fall Festivals in the Ozarks
As the weather cools down and leaves begin to fall, we know Autumn is right around the corner. One of the best things about living in the Ozarks is our local harvest culture. Pumpkin patches, produce-growing contests, parades and the sweet smells of apple butter and kettle corn are about to take over our small towns. The 417 offers many of these festivals with free admission to people of all ages. Visit these events and make the most of the season:
