33 Family Fun Fall Festivals in Columbia

By Jeanette Dempsey, Publisher October 18, 2016
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. My kids and I get to drag out all of our decorations and put them up to show how much we love each holiday. We love going to the local pumpkin patch and picking out pumpkins to decorate and place on our porch.

I love going to local events and seeing all the kids have fun playing games, getting candy and taking holiday pictures.
