Spooky season lollipops!🎃👻

I still haven’t figured out why I get so many surface bubbles with the silicone molds, but my kids totally don’t care😆

Keep your eyes out for highlights of all the activities and amazing vendors! So excited!

The Fall Vendor Fair is coming up quickly and I wanted to spend some time over the next few days highlighting some of the vendors and groups that will be here on Sun, Oct 11, 2026!

West Liberty Marching Band is performing at 1:00 pm! They will also be selling their lemonade as a fundraiser

Top of Ohio Twirlers will be performing at 2:00 pm

Bellefontaine High School Show Choir is performing at 3:00 pm!

West Liberty Cheerleaders are face-painting as a fundraising event!

West Liberty FFA will be operating the admission gate for the Corn Maize as their fundraising event!

Kambria Freed will be doing free photos all day - we will have a fall set up 🍁🍂 perfect for pictures

We will have pumpkins for sale as well!

We will be running a smaller menu this day- also we will have servers that will be dedicated to outside to help the flow.

As the month goes on, I’ll highlight vendors every few days! So, keep your eyes out!

Confession time…I have never successfully created a cake pop. I have tried a few times for my sweets-loving middle child but I just can’t do it right. And now there are too many people out there doing an amazing job with them, so I don’t even try. But I found this cute mold and wondered, can this be used for lollipops? We’re gonna find out!

It still doesn’t feel like spooky season (it’s been in the 80s and 90s all week) but I can’t wait any longer! I’ve made lots of spooky season bookmarks!👻

☕️Happy Saturday!☕️

There’s nothing like a little coffee and reading before the rest of the house is awake. 😊🩶

*Currently reading an ARC for Philip Fracassi’s new short story collection Traps & Specters.

I am not much of a baker (I leave that to my friends who are much better at it), but I do love to make muffins for my kids. They’re perfect for busy weekends (when you have to have your kid to the school for XC before the sun is up 😖). I made these pumpkin banana muffins and they are SO good! Tastes like fall🎃
