apples When the leaves turn color and the air feels crisp, harvest time has arrived. And that means pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and Oktoberfest.

Take time this month for some of these fall festivities:

Get a taste of German culture at Leavenworth’s Oktoberfest, October 9 – 10 and 16 – 17. Live music, Bavarian food, arts and crafts, and family / children’s activities abound. (www.leavenworthoktoberfest.com)
Remlinger Farm in Carnation features a u-pick pumpkin field, corn mazes, fresh produce for sale, and children’s rides at their month-long Fall Pumpkin Harvest Festival. Weekend hours 10 – 6. (www.remlingerfarms.com)
If you are craving apples, you might check out the Apple Festival at Lattin’s Country Cider Mill and Farm. Located in Olympia, the Cider Mill boasts all things apple (cider, caramel apples, apple butter, pie, fritters) and two haunted houses. (www.lattinscider.com)
And if you’re keen on picking, baking, or canning your own fruit, go to www.pickyourown.org to view detailed listings of orchards around the state.
