Whip out that fall calendar! We’re already into October, and before we know it, we’ll be heading out for an evening of trick or treating (or handing out candy to the trick or treaters). Between now and then, we’ve got a ton of fun, family-friendly activities to fit into an already jam-packed calendar. This free fall festival in Pennsylvania promises two days of fun activities the whole family will love.
Pine Grove Furnace State Park, in Gardners, is the place to be the weekend of October 19-20, 2019 for the Fall Furnace Fest.
