things for their homes to bring in the golden and red 4th quarter of the year.
"Now in its 11th year, the St Croix Falls AutumnFest celebration offers a city-wide opportunity to really
enjoy life. Featuring live music and many smiling local faces, AutumnFest partners with a wonderful local farmers market,
some tasty food truck vendros, pumpkins and seasonal home decorations, a large array of art, craft and promotional vendors
and a warm public library to duck into if needed”, says organizer Woody McBride. “Its a wonderful tradition rooted
in mother earth lore, river sprit magic and our strong buy local sensibility.
We are placed in a scenic downtown river town along the St Croix River - and the first Saturday
of October each year is a great day to spend in the area. Check out all the sales at local shops, visit our vintage stores,
get some coffee at the DH Cafe or 3 Arrows, get some hand-made candy at Valley Sweets or pick out a clever gift at Tangen’s,
pick up some pet supplies at Fur-Get-Me Nots, get some fresh flowers, get some gas, check out the quilt shop or the cobbler
shop, learn about the SCF Civic Auditorium Renovation project, grab a healthy snack at Fine Acres Natural Foods Market, get
your hair done, go on a guided nature hike, have lunch or dinner at one of our local restaurants. And before you go see the
theatrical production “Diary of Anne Frank” that night at The Black Box/Festival Theatre swing through one of
the local taverns. If nothing else take in the clean fall air and some peace and quiet in The City of Trails.”
