Cornstalks, football, scarves, crisp weather and cozy socks.. what reminds you of Fall?

Can’t put my finger on what I love the most… bonfires, camping, hot apple cider, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and leaves transforming into beautiful shades of ash, cherry and maple. Hay bales, wool sweaters, mums, and steaming hot cocoa. Hoodies, crisp air, boots, jeans, flushed cheeks and my birthday!  All signs that Fall has officially arrived! Fall has always been my favorite season for all of the above and more. So far, I’ve made my trip to my pumpkin patch, bought my new fashionable boots (not to mention the entire necessary fall wardrobe), had my first pumpkin spice latte, and completed my seasonal mum purchase. How are you breaking in your fall? Maybe celebrating at Red Brick Station’s Pumpkin Ale Release Party on October 11th? This is one thing I find myself definitely counting down for! Everyone loves a good fall pumpkin beer, stop in Red Brick and see why theirs is so popular! Beginning at 7pm, a night full of delicious pumpkin ale, music, fun, giveaways and more!

If beer’s not your thing, adopt a new skill this fall season and visit A.C.Moore for their Lion Brand Yarn Cutting on Sunday, October 14th. You could knit yourself a new fall sweater in no time! From 9:30AM- 2PM, A.C.Moore is hosting a wealth of activities from Make-N-Takes, Fall festive demos, and giveaways on the hour! AND did I mention the first 50 customer’s will receive a FREE Lion Brand goodie bag?! So, get knitting! Anyone interested in knitting me a nice pair of warm socks is more than welcome to do so :)
Hungry? Competitive? Maybe both? Don’t miss out on Red Brick Station’s First EVER Chili Cook Off on Sunday, October 21st at 6pm! Yummmm… hot chili on a cool fall night! Come to taste test and vote for the best chili OR join in on the competition. Registration for participation begins today at Red Brick! Better hurry, because amazing prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners so the spots for competing are going to fill quickly! More details to come.
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the little ones! Halloween is just around the corner and I hope your costume is picked out because THE AVENUE at White Marsh Annual Trick-Or-Treat continues on Saturday, October 27th at 3pm and hey, make a day of it! Barnes & Noble is hosting a Halloween themed story time at 12:00pm featuring "The Monster's Monster," by Patrick McDonnell followed by a Hocus Pocus, Abra-Cadabra Magic Show for kids in the Main Plaza at 2:15pm. I’m thinking this is something I’ll definitely be hiding in the kids crowd for- I can’t deny that I’ve always loved a magic quarter, disappearing bunny, guess my playing card or reappearing dove act myself…
We’re certainly getting into the season and celebrating Fall here at THE AVENUE. I hope our activities inspire you to get out and do the same!
