So Much More Than PSLs: Why We Love Fall in Colorado
Fall officially begins this Thursday, September 22. But what makes fall in Colorado so special? How do we celebrate the changing of the seasons? Today on the show, host Bree Davies chats with producer Erin O’Toole and newsletter editor Peyton Garcia about all things fall — from the best drinks to sip to the best corn mazes to explore, and all the ways to really soak in those autumnal feels, we’ve got you covered.
Here are a few of the farms, corn mazes, and festivals we’re looking forward to:
- Pumpkin Harvest Festival, October 8-9
- Pumpkin Nights, October 17-November 3
- Fritzler Farm Park, through October 30
- 7th Generation Farm
We also mentioned last year’s pumpkin-themed conversation, this interview with scare actor Danielle Look (plus other spooky Halloween tales), and this episode about the Morales family, who have been roasting green chiles for almost 30 years.
Peyton has also rounded up some of your comments on our past episodes. Tap into the hot goss by reading and subscribing to the City Cast Denver newsletter: https://denver.citycast.fm/newsletter/
