Hi! Happy weekend. Trying not to dwell on the fact that this would’ve been Balloon Festival weekend - probably our favorite weekend of the year here - and yet here we are, dwelling :) Here are a few ideas to help you still make this an awesome fall weekend:
Fried Chicken Sandwiches: Common Roots is at it again, this time introducing a fried chicken sandwich to their to-go menu! Their pizza has become a favorite around these parts, so we can’t wait to add this to our order this weekend! Details and ordering here.
Apple Season: Alright, we’ve been talking about it for a few weeks, but this is the weekend we’re finally heading out for apples and cider donuts. If this is the weekend for you too, check out our list of local apple orchards to visit here!
U-Pick Potatoes: We did this last year at Goose Island Potatoes and it was so much fun! Truth be told, it was pretty quick work, but it was a beautiful drive and fun to get out in the dirt do something we hadn’t done before. And the mashed potatoes Tom made for weeks afterward were pretty great, too :) Details here! And while you’re out that way, R.S. Taylor Brewery is just five minutes away - just sayin’.
Fall Favorites: There are so many great destinations within easy driving distance of Glens Falls, so last year we put together a list of fall favorites in the Capital Region over on Bri’s blog. Since we’re all staying a little closer to home these days, thought we’d share it here as well in case you’re in the market for a little day trip - thinking we might need to work our way through the list again this year, too. Read it here (and make sure you call or check with each business on Facebook before you go - most are open but there are bound to be some COVID related changes!).
Have a great weekend!
Bri + Tom
