Celebrating Fall: Nature Center’s AutumnFest draws revelers of the season

On a chilly fall day last weekend, celebrants of the season came out to the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes for its annual AutumnFest Powered by PNC

Many revelers came to the event in costumes to paint tiny pumpkins, climb enchanted beanstalks, take an evening hike, and shop at the Fall Perennial Sale.

Bob Perkoski also attended AutumnFest too, to capture the spirit and fun the Fall season always holds!
