THURMONT
A Taste of Thurmont Awaits You This Fall!
T
hurmont is the place to visit all year long for lots of history, fun, and adventure but let’s face it, fall is one of the best times of the year to visit this quaint town! Not only is mother nature using her palette to deliver scenic foliage in the Catoctin Mountains, but she is also producing some of the best apples and pumpkins you will find in the tri-state area
at Thurmont’s orchards! Mother Nature is not just producing orange and red, but let’s throw in some burgundy, yellow, and white for full kaleidoscope of colors. Thurmont is home to four picturesque and award-winning wineries with one of the four featuring a brewery and distillery! While we are talking about color, did you know Thurmont is home to Colorfest one of the largest outdoor craft shows on the east coast? Col-
orfest attracts 100,000 people every year the second full weekend of October with over 700 craft and food vendors. Colorfest in not just an event-it’s an experience! Taking in all of those colors most certainly will work up an appetite, so while visiting Thurmont, make sure you stop at one of Thurmont’s locally owned restaurants to enjoy a scrumptious meal! Hmmm…I bet you can smell the fall air in Thurmont right now!
