Fall Festival

by davecallahan

Every October there is the Annual Grove City Fall Fest.

It is sort of combination craft show and yard sale with a farmers' market and school activites throw into the mix. There are local entertainment groups and a pet parade to add to the noise. Kids can have fun on a hay ride or painting a pumpkin. There are food booths for all to enjoy.

So if you are in the area in the first 10 days of October, (exact date changes each year) stop in to the Fall Festival and have some good old country fun.

Well the kid wanted to go sky diving for his 21st birthday ....My husbund said he felt no reason to jump out of a perfectly good plane .... here are the shots . my son is the one on the left.
Skydiving is undoubtedly the world’s most exciting sport. Advances in equipment and training have made it safer and easier for more people than ever to enjoy the incredible sensation of freefall and parachute flight. Absolutely nothing compares to the feeling of falling from an airplane or surfing the clouds under a modern square parachute wing. Try it just once and you'll agree!
Skydive Pennsylvania is located adjacent to the Grove City Airport less than one hour north of Pittsburgh, or thirty minutes east of Youngstown. The airport is just off Interstate 79 at Exit 113 near the Grove City factory outlet mall.
