We will be at this event as well again this year. Bring your magic and dress the part. There's a gathering, and you'll need fuel. Stop by The 4th Avenue Farmhouse for some yummy fall treats, including our annual favorite Buckeye Hedgehogs, our Pumpkin Chip Cookies, our Pecan-crusted Pumpkin Bread, our Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie squares, and so much more!
Make a stop on your witchy romp.
