Plans for the weekend?

Fall has definitely arrived in Garrett County now. The colorful display of turning leaves, the bright blue sky with the mild light of the autumn sun make us want to go outside. It’s the time of the year when the corn mazes are ready. Head out for a lot of fun at Cove Run Farms close to Accident, MD. They traditionally have a great corn maze and a portion of this year’s proceeds will be donated to “Warm the Children“. . . .

Different ways of Leaf-Peeping in Garrett County

The leaves are already starting to turn in the higher elevations and you may be ready for a different approach to Leaf-Peeping in Western Maryland this year. Rather than drive around in your car, head for the Wisp Resort in McHenry and admire the beautiful foliage while comfortably seated in a chair lift on a scenic chair lift ride. Or if you are rather on the adventurous side, checkin for one of their canopy tours. http://www.wispresort.com/ Love horses? High up . . .
