</span>Hello hello!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>With the beginning of October, it certainly feels like fall
has set in! Before you know it, it’ll be time to bust out the sweatshirts
at those football games, trade the iced teas & lemonades for hot chocolate,
and enjoy all the fun fall has to offer! Here at Riversdale, we’ve got 3
great programs lined up for ya! Take a peek and see what’s going on!<br>
<br>
Friday, October 15, 10am-3pm. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There are still spots left for our always-popular Hands-on
History day off from school! On October 15, kids 8-12, enjoy being the
Gardener’s Apprentice! Throughout the day, participants will learn about
the many crops grown here at Riversdale 200 years ago, play games that
celebrate seasonal offerings, make a snack, and enjoy garden-inspired crafts
and activities. Spots are still available, but this program will sell
out, so check those calendars and sign up soon! $15 residents/$18
non-residents.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Friday, October 22, tours at 7:30 & 8:30 pm<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Maybe you’ve been to Riversdale many times and think
you’ve seen all there is to see. Or, maybe you’ve driven past
countless times, vowing to stop in one of these days. Whether you’re a
familiar face at the museum or a brand new addition, our Harvest Moon Walk is
right up your alley! You’ll get a little bit of history, little bit of
lore, little bit of archaeology, and a whole lot o fun as you enjoy a museum
staffer-led lantern-lit tour of the grounds. End the evening on a high note
(pun intended!) with period music and refreshment in the dependency kitchen.
Guests ages 12 & older are reminded to dress for the weather and wear
appropriate shoes.<br>
Register by October 19 to ensure a spot on one of the two tours. The cost is $5
per person. <o:p></o:p></p>

Halloween spirit as they present Seasonal Selections: Peter, Peter Pumpkin
Eater. Watch as they prepare popular 19<sup>th</sup>-century dishes made with
pumpkin! You can check out the demo for FREE! Make an afternoon of it and take
