You can plan on fall weather arriving during the Allegan County Fair. The Fair opens the first Friday after Labor Day and lasts for 9 days. This year, we had lovely weather for me - in the 70's until time for the big parade Tuesday eve, it dropped 20 degrees. Still we wouldn't miss it.
Tuesday before the hour long parade, I shared an Elephant Ear while walking around all the displays in the Ag and Commercial buildings - saw a pumpkin that weighed over 800 pounds! Wed. during the Harness Races, I gave in to a bit healthier fare - smoked almonds, oh, almost forgot the vinegar french fries. Maybe all the walking through the animal barns balanced that out. Great fun for any age and durn, only a day and half left.

I love this fall weather, too, Barb! And fair food ;D
What on earth is an elephant's ear Barb???!!!
An elephant ear is like a super thin pizza crust (about a foot across) that is deep fried then sprinkled with way too much sugar & cinnamon, some people put jam on it as well. One of those useless calorie snacks that I only need to taste once a year.
Cary, I also will miss all the fresh, warm from the garden, tomatoes.
