Getting Colonial In The Fall at Schoenbrunn

Last weekend my wife and I stopped down to Historic Schoenbrunn Village to partake of the Colonial Faire held at the village.  The cold October morning was a perfect fit to step back in time and enjoy this event filled with period dressed reenactors, vendors and of course food!  Schoenbrunn is a great place to explore and learn more about the areas history and events that took place as our country roots were setting in.  Here are some selected shots from the event but you can see the whole catalog of images here.

Around the county on an October day

Tuscarawas County is pretty big.  571.45 square miles to be exact.  I met a person yesterday that said if you had a week to spend on vacation here, you would be hard pressed to get to see everything that is here.  I believe him.  Yesterday's adventures took me to Dundee Falls, Zoar, Dennison and Gnadenhutten.  Was a great way to spend a Saturday.  That was until the rains washed out the day.   Was hoping to get some of the colors of fall, but they are not just there yet.  Another week or two.

Swiss in Sugarcreek

This weekend in Sugarcreek, OH, the town is hosting it's annual Ohio Swiss Festival.  "The Little Switzerland of Ohio", located on the western end of Tuscarawas County hosts this event yearly and last night the wife and I headed out there to check it out.  We had never been there before so we weren't sure what to expect.  What we found was a great community festival with, of course, lots of food choices, rides, music and wine and cheese tasting.  For me, the highlight was the apple fritters which were little fried slices of apple goodness.  If you go, get some.  Trust me.  The festival only runs Friday and Saturday, so hopefully your reading this on Saturday and get some time to get out there!
