Fall is undeniably my favorite season, and you can definitely tell when you visit my home during this season. There's fall foliage and pumpkins everywhere! I know a lot of people get excited for Halloween, but the apple of my eye this time of year is fall.

So I love a good fall festival, and there are plenty in Oklahoma for all to enjoy! These events are especially great to take the grandkids to. We love picking out pumpkins, bobbing for apples, jumping hay bales, and of course, posing for a cute fall family pic.

I love getting up on a Saturday morning and heading to the Lawton Farmers Market. The organization opened up its new, permanent location on SW D Avenue in downtown Lawton earlier this year, and it has already become a pillar of our community. So getting ready to go to the Lawton Farmers Market on Saturday, October 29, will be extra special because the market will be having its annual Harvest Festival! The market will have trick-or-treating with its vendors, a fall photo booth and other fun, fall activities! This will be great event for families, plus you can get your groceries for the week!
