Agritourism takes center stage in Madison County this weekend with cider, corn mazes, pumpkin chucking catapults and corn cannons.  The weather sure feels like fall and this weekend will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate the best season in Central New York.  There are several great agritourism events this weekend and some other fun ideas to pass the time.  Don't forget to check out all the great October events when planning you weekend.
1. Get lost in the Stratocaster Corn Maze (pictured) at Golub's Our Farm.  The Golub family has been working hard all summer to create their unique maze and grow their awesome pumpkins.  They are open weekends from 1-5 at their farm on Peth Road in Manlius. 
2. Learn how to shoot a corn cannon at Wolf Oak Acres near Oneida. Their fall weekend festivals continue this weekend. 
3. There is nothing better in my opinon than aged New York State Cheddar along with a slice of apple crisp.  Wash it all down with a glass of ice cold cider.  The Harvest Moon Cider Mill at Critz Farms will be pressing cider all weekend long, so stop in a pick up a gallon. 
4. It's the largest and creepiest attraction in Central New York.  Creepy Camp opens on Friday for the Halloween season.  This is not for the faint of heart!  Creepy Camp can be found along Route 13 between Chittenango and Cazenovia.
5. Lorenzo State Historic Site hosts the Rippleton School House Community Day on Sunday.  Join 1880s schoolmarm Mattie Buckland as she opens her classroom during “Community Day” from 1 to 4 p.m.,The day’s festivities will include live music, square dancing, old-fashioned games, the creation of historic toys such as thaumotropes and wizzers, decorating pumpkins, wagon rides, a side saddle demonstration and cider and donuts. The Rippleton Schoolhouse is located at Lorenzo State Historic Site, south of the village of Cazenovia along Route 13.
