Harvest Fest & Craft Fair

The eleventh annual Harvest Fest & Craft Fair will take place at the New Jersey State Botanical Garden (Ringwood, NJ) on Saturday, October 6, and Sunday, October 7, 2012 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm (rain or shine). NJBG/Skylands Association, the non-profit member organization that supports the Botanical Garden, sponsors this annual weekend packed with family fun.

Activities for all ages include hay rides, pumpkin painting, children’s games, an autumn plant sale, a blacksmith at work, model airplanes, applesauce making, a bake sale, and a photography workshop. There’ll be free guided garden tours, or you can wander on your own on a self-guided tour. Don’t forget to bring your camera, as there’ll be fun photo faceboards and great photo ops, too.

At the Craft Fair you’ll find lots of goodies and beautiful hand-made items, everything from jewelry to jams. Perfect for your early holiday shopping. There’ll also be live music and dancing both days from 1:00-4:00 pm.
