This past weekend in October is always one of my favorites; I look forward to it all year - all good things fall packed in to two fun days with best friends. Saturday morning was kicked off with a bright and early trip to the Hay Creek Apple Festival where my neighbors and I snapped up vintage goodies and yummy apple delights (hot apple fritters anyone?). Then it was off to the 5th Annual Pick Fest at Frecon Farms and it did not disappoint. The bands were awesome, the crowd amazing, the cider delicious and the weather perfect. Followed this with an amazing evening in Manyaunk with best friend and her hubbs, and then up and at 'em again for the Chestnut Hill Art Festival. Had to jet back early though to meet Mom and Dad for their 35th wedding anniversary (hello, yay!) at the ever impressive Lily's on Main in Ephrata. What a wonderful weekend!

Tune in Tuesday

In honor of my quickly approaching side project, and favorite fall day, Pick Fest, let's get down with some country croons and fast picking fingers this Tuesday to get us in the mood. Feast your eyes and read all about it here on page nine or check out the web-exclusive video at Berks County Living.

Let's tune into Band Hinton Band, who will be making an awesome appearence on stage Saturday. And of course, we can turn back time and revisit The Ramblers here. Enjoy!

Tune in Tuesday

This just in! Channeling warm fall days in the orchard at PickFest (save the date, Ocotber 8th) I am totally loving The HillBenders right now (even though I'm jumping ahead two seasons). Their picking on Nancypants is totally picking me up right now on this dreary Tuesday.
