Fall Party
Plan Your Party with the best-looking invitations on the web.
- Keene on Pumpkins: Rimmed by scarlet maples and picturesque bridges, head to Keene, New Hampshire for a late October Pumpkin festival and visit its landmark Colonial Theatre. After the excitement of pumpkin pie-eating contests and the boom of fall fireworks, luxuriate at Main Street's E.F. Lane Hotel just steps from the pumpkin and jack-o-lantern adorned gazebo.
- Historic Antiques: In the picturesque Connecticut River Valley the weekend of October 6 and 7, you'll find antiques and Americana galore at the prestigious Deerfield Antiques Show. My neighbors just adore this show and have had it on the calendar for weeks. From ceramics to jewelry to the best New England offers, make sure to leave room in your trunk for your fabulous finds!
- Leaves and Lake Ferry Tour: What fun to be on a ferry sailing through New England's panoramic eye-popping fall views. All in a day, ferrying between Vermont and New York's Adirondacks you and your camera will capture the ultimate in vivid autumn colors. Enjoy a steaming cup of coffee, cider and freshly-baked scone at the local Main Street cafe in Burlington, VT. Hop aboard the ferry to Essex and experience Lake Champlain's hills and valleys.
- Wine-Lovers- Bacchus Retreat: If rows of ripe grapes tempt your senses, there's nothing more accessible than New York's eastern tip of Long Island "The North Fork." Friends in the restaurant business applaud North Fork's emerging wineries. So, start your weekend with a snack and toast to local vintners Paula and Michael Croteaux. Then pop into the artisanal Village Cheese Shop for delectable noshes before your departure. Along the drive, enjoy pristine villages before making your way to the fashionable farmhouse of The Shinn Estate. Here you can bask in the unexpected grandeur of an 1880 historic vineyard.
- Four Diamond Resort- Lenox, Massachusetts: Enjoy Jazz Sundays, spa treatments, golf and gourmet meals at the award-winning Cranwell Resort. With magnificent views of fall foliage nestled in the Berkshires, my buddies love to tee-off at this tree-lined historic champion golf course. For the ladies, the resort offers a girlfriends getaway. So book a much-deserved spa break. Rejuvenate, gab and dish at Sloane's Tavern or enjoy Jazz Sundays in the Mansion before heading home.
