You can come as you are in your favourite shorts 
Except if you are my mom and think low heel Farragamo’s are country casual. 
Parking is so darn easy you think there is something wrong with the event so no one came.
You meet the people who make the stuff they are selling. Cheese experts, pie experts, farmers who tenderly yank the produce from the ground after caring for it all season, sausage experts, maple syrup connoisseurs, butter tart aficionados. And they insist that you taste. And you can ask them anything and they will tell you their life story.
Little old ladies who knit socks for a living –
A place where candy apples still exist. 
And you can find that perfect pumpkin to take home.
And a folksy band plays old songs well but not too well, completely unselfconsciously.
And your children slow down enough to whisper secrets and laugh at ridiculous things.
