AUTUMN JOYS!!!!!
2016 Holiday and Seasonal Fun is over but the following post still has good resources for looking for fun things to do. And when you’re done, head to my category page, Holiday and Seasonal, where you’ll find all my posts on fun things to do in Roseville CA for holiday and seasonal fun! The most recent is always at the top.
Woohoo! It’s time for my favorite season – AUTUMN! Fall Foliage, crisp cool air, locally grown apples, pumpkins, costumes, and so many fun things to do in Roseville and surrounding area of both Placer County and Sacramento County and beyond! Seems like a great time for a list of of some of those fun things to do! Things like corn mazes, pumpkin patches, family fun fests, and more!
Pumpkins, Gourds, and Squash, Oh MY!
The weekly Roseville Farmers Market in Downtown Square by the City Hall, along with all the other Farmer’s Markets in the area are often great places to get beautiful pumpkins and cute squash.
Nurseries like Green Acres Nursery often have huge and very cool pumpkins and other lovely autumn plants and veggies. I still remember the gorgeous ones last year!
Our local grocery stores usually have a great selection of pumpkins and decorative squash and gourds. If you watch for them, you might catch some great sales.
