The weather has turned crisp and cool and it’s the perfect time to grab family and friends and head out to one of several area “farm days.” Roanoke is always blessed with an extraordinarily beautiful fall season and a number of small and large farms offer a wonderful variety of activities – from milking cows to pumpkin tossing to negotiating corn mazes, not to mention an old-fashioned hay-ride . . . Or riding behind a John Deere tractor in a recycled plastic drum with several of your new closest friends in tow. So go on, get off the couch and leave that football game behind this week – there’ll be plenty more of those ahead during the cold days of November and December.
