Goodbye, September! Hello, October! Goodbye to green leaves, and hello to changing foliage. The pumpkin “spice,” however, remains. While our region is going through another fall makeover, there are plenty of events around CNY to keep your mind off the blues of inevitable change.
It’s a great weekend for comedy, there are a plethora of concerts, a film festival, foodie fun and more.
