Looking for some fun activities to do as the perfect weather temperature arrives? Well I got you covered. I know many people may like to enjoy the cool weather or watch the leaves slowly change, but there are so many more FUN FALL related activities you won’t want to miss! Here are the TOP FIVE you should look forward to.

1. Fall Flavored Food and Drinks

Who doesn’t enjoy a hot pumpkin spice latte on a cool morning? As summer comes to an end, the fall flavored foods and drinks arrive. A great fall fun activity would be to grab some friends and go to your local coffee shop to get a pumpkin spice latte or some pumpkin pastry. There are many different choices if pumpkin spice isn’t your thing. Some alternative choices are apple crisp macchiato, apple cider, cinnamon rolls and more. Instead of spending all your money at Starbucks, support some local coffee shops like, Saxonburg Coffee Shop, Cummings, or Churn. Go enjoy a great time with friends and family as you fill yourself with delicious treats.
