Autumn Affair WINDHAM CELEBRATES 30th ANNUAL

To know Windham is to fall in love with Windham. This sentiment has been the Chamber’s inspiration, the driving force that created the first Autumn Affair fall festival.

This year we are celebrating our 30th anniversary! The ongoing success of this event underlies our belief that Windham is a special community to live, work, and play, especially during the fall foliage season.

The Chamber’s focus is to showcase Windham’s beautiful Main Street and to highlight the amazing small businesses that are truly the backbone of the community.

This two-day event will be held the weekend of October 12 and October 13, from 10 am to 5 pm. Main Street is filled with free family-friendly activities, arts and crafts for sale, delicious food and drink specials, and Centre Church stage featuring live music performances from 12-4 pm both days, adding to the joy and celebrations.

On the Windham Ashland School campus, you’ll find 60+ vendors, free kids’ activities, lawn games, demonstrations, and wildlife exhibits. WRIP Radio will host a live broadcast, with DJs Jay Fink and Joe Loverro Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. Downtown you’ll find pony rides by Vidbel Mountain Homestead, wine and spirit tastings offered by Windham Wine & Liquors, and a Farmers Market offering organic produce, cakes pies, local honey, syrup, and tinctures.

Kids of all ages will love the spooky hay maze and pirate ship at the Catskill Mountain Country store. Hop on the hay wagon for rides up and down the village. Foodies are encouraged to enter the Baking Contest, proudly sponsored by Windham Manor and Albergo Allegria: visit our website at movingwindhamforward. com for entry information. There will be a cornhole tournament Saturday inside the Centre Church: sign up at the event. Windham Mountain Club will have sky rides and a BBQ with live music, and be sure to check out the WAJ Ski swap sale on Saturday, a great way to save on outdoor equipment while raising money for local students.

Windham Methodist Church will host their Annual Apple Bake Sale from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, featuring homemade goodies. If you have a dog, you must enter Coldwell Banker Village Green’s Smooch Your Pooch—doggie beauty photo contest— and win prizes!

Visit the Main Street Community Center and learn about their programs for all ages. Local businesses will be hosting in-store specials and sidewalk sales, galore—free family fun for everyone.
