Fun Activities for Fall!

Autumn flies by, so you should enjoy the crisp weather and changing foliage while you can! There are so many reasons to get out this fall that we've put together a list of the top local activities for kids and adults alike!

1. Take a haunted ghost tour through Fort Delaware! This historic landmark dates back to the Civil War when the Union used it as a prison for Confederate prisoners.

2. Go apple picking at Highland Orchards in Wilmington! Don't forget to try their delicious homemade apple cider donuts!

3. Celebrating its 28th anniversary this year, the world renowned Punkin Chuckin event will be held in Dover from October 24th-26th! For those unfamiliar with this tradition, it is the sport of hurling or 'chucking' a pumpkin using high-tech catapults, slingshots and more!

4. See the changing colors with a visit to Longwood Gardens! While this is technically right over the border into Pennsylvania, I like to think we share custody of this beautiful attraction. Make sure to check out their new 86 acre Meadow Garden!

5. The Harvest Moon Festival at the Delaware Nature Society's Coverdale Farm Preserve is full of yummy food trucks, corn mazes, hay rides, music, crafts and more! Join in on the fall fun from October 4th-5th
.

Alex and Ani Bangle of the Month!

Alex and Ani's Bangle of the Month is Turn Peace Up! Representing 'kindness, tranquility & liberation,' receive $5 OFF this bangle for the month of September!


A reminder to remain positive, Turn Peace Up® symbolizes actions, both big and small, that can be taken towards bettering our community. Create peace using Alex and Ani's 3-step solution below and let this bangle inspire you to spread kindness and free the world of negativity!

Choose peace through tranquility by learning to truly love yourself. Honor your passions, let go of your fears and you will discover the most powerful forms of peace and tranquility in self-love. Only when you are at peace with yourself, can you bring peace to the lives of others.

Choose peace through kindness by respecting the opinions and choices of others without judgement. Recognize that each individual is on their own path with their own hopes and their own troubles that are not always apparent. The old adage “treat others as you wish to be treated” rings true here and is the most simple requirement in creating peace.

Choose peace through liberation by alleviating negativity. This is where being the peace comes in. Liberate the world around you by being a source of positive energy in all of your endeavors. When you radiate positivity, you bring peace to those around you and inspire them to do the same for others!
