I LOVE FALL! From apple season to the weather, and everything in between. My absolute favorite thing to do in the fall is going to festivals. It's the perfect weather to get outside (I live in Northern CA so fall weather is pretty mild.) and participate in the craft, food, beer, music, history and other festival activities. I really missed this during the pandemic, and I am excited to get back to visiting a few. This task celebrates a few festivals I have attended in the past, will attend in the future, or are on my bucket list to visit!
This is a one book task. Read 1 book that fits one of the options below.
Required: State the option when you post.
Option 1: Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest - I live about a 30-40 minute drive away from the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, CA. I usually go to this weekend long beer release party every year. Read a book written by an author with first and last initials that can be found in OKTOBERFEST. Middle initials can be ignored.
Option 2: West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta, Tualatin, OR, held on the third Saturday of October each year - Costumed racers in hollowed out, thousand-pound pumpkins compete in a series of crazy water events. I went to this event in 2018 and it was a ton of fun! Read a book with a pumpkin/gourd on the cover. Ex:
Required: Include the cover in your post.
Option 3: Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, October 2nd thru the 10th - I am so excited to be going to this event next month in New Mexico. Read a book with a 4+ letter word in the TITLE that can be made from the letters in ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO. Example: Firefly Lane (LANE)
Required: State the word used when you post.
Option 4: Scarecrow Festival, St. Charles, IL, October 8-10, 2021. I would love to experience a Scarecrow festival, maybe learn how to sculpt them someday! Read a book with a MPG of "paranormal" or "horror".
Option 5: Harvest on the Harbor, Portland, ME, November 4-7, 2021. Initially started as a celebration of Portland's up-and-coming food scene, it has now multiplied into a fully-fledged fest of local ciders and spirits and all. I would love to take a vacation and visit Maine, and this event sounds like the perfect opportunity! Read a book that is set at least 50% in Maine.
Required: If the setting is not clearly indicated in the GR description or metadata, include a reference to the setting when you post.
