AND my 2 FAVorite Holidays-

10. Thanksgiving

Some organizations that are sea to me are having some great events coming up.
1. The Farm Sanctuary hosts a national Walk for Animals every year. Our local Philadelphia walk is on October 3rd at 11am.
This event raises money and awareness to animal cruelty. This is an amazing organization and cause that I hope you'll support. "Throughout the years, more than 8,000 animals have called Farm Sanctuary home, and we have found safe and loving placement for nearly 3,000 more. The animals who come to our sanctuaries have been rescued from factory farms, stockyards, natural disasters, and abuse and neglect cases. When you Walk, the donations you raise help us rescue, feed, administer urgent care, and provide permanent homes for farm animals!"

2. As a chair for the Farm Explorer Committee through The Junior League of Philadelphia, I became a fan of Greener Partner's and their Longview Farm & Market. They offer Pick your Own fruits (right now are apples and pears!), education tours and events. 
Every year they host a Farmer Showdown and family harvest festival. Food, drinks, & fun!
Sunday, October 25th from 12-4pm

3. As a resident of West Conshohocken, I must promote my own town!
