I think I like that it's European more than anything else and yet so universal. This weekend we take Nicholas to our county fair, and that, too, is festive and so autumn! Thanks for sharing these things in such great detail, Renny! This celebration reminded me of festivals we’ve seen at Hannover’s Herrenhauser Garten in Germany.

Very interesting stuff, Renny! This festival looks like SO much fun. I love the pictures, and the video made me laugh out loud here at work. :-) I didn’t know that Canada’s Thanksgiving came 43 years before ours here in the U.S.! Very interesting stuff, Renny!
