Happy Fall 

 

The fall foliage is still very beautiful here, even after the strong winds last night. October was a fun month for us. Our tourism staff had a great time being creative in designing costumes to wear for the Halloween at the Park event. We passed out suckers and custom made I heart Berea temporary tattoos - If you missed us stop by the Welcome Center. We now have the Make it, Take it, Give it workshop schedules printed and available throughout Berea. November will be a busy month with lots to do and take part in. Call us for more info on any of our happenings. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
