My family and I had a great weekend of fall events. We visited an area corn maze and chose our pumpkins for carving. We also took some time to explore the site of Alvira, learning its history along the way. The weather was colder but it was still beautiful to enjoy the leaves during breaks of sunshine.

Congratulations to the Montgomery Marching Band for their stellar performance in the South Williamsport Mummer’s Day Parade. The band put on a zombie-themed show in honor of Halloween and travelled to Knoebels after the parade for further Halloween based activities.
