2nd Annual Frugal Fall Contest - 2011

"Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile."

- William Cullen Bryant

Fall is one of our favorite times of year.  The crisp air, beautiful landscapes, family, friends, and neighbors all coming together to celebrate and give thanks... it's simply wonderful.  Fall Festivals, harvests, long drives in the country to view fall foliage, Oktoberfests, Halloween, apples and pumpkins (LOTS of apples and pumpkins!).  And, finally, my personal favorite holiday of the year, Thanksgiving.

With a little creativity you can make the season even more fun for your family.  Here are some great ideas from our members for celebrating the fall season on a budget.  

(Our next Frugal Fall Contest will begin October 2012.)
