ROBESON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – It was a busy day for agritourism on the Monday holiday.<\/p>\n

Lots of families were out taking advantage of the bonus day off and participating in several fall-related activities.<\/p>\n

“We try to take advantage of this day when some kids are out of school; some people are off work for the holiday,” says Janelle Weaver, Retail Director at Weaver’s Orchard. “Sometimes it’s busy, sometimes it’s not. [It] depends on the weather.”<\/p>\n

Several grandparents chose to spend the day with their grandchildren at the Fall Festival at Weaver’s Orchard.<\/p>\n

“For years, we come here every year and just like the weather is perfect today,” says Peggy Romanies, who lives near Leesport and was there with her grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Kids enjoyed many fall-themed activities, including apple slingshots and cannons, as well as a number of other attractions.<\/p>\n

It was a similar story at Mast Corn Maze just over the Berks-Lancaster County line, near Morgantown.<\/p>\n

“We came for a ‘nana date,\u2019” says Lynn Pupek, who says her two grandsons are visiting from Virginia. “We got lost in the maze [and] we finally found our way out an hour later.”<\/p>\n

Several students were excited to trade in the classroom for the farms as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ROBESON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – It was a busy day for agritourism on the Monday holiday.
