Things to do, places to eat, shows to see, places to stay in Madison County, NY      

It is a busy, busy weekend in Madison County and the events are happening in every corner.  Fall is in full swing and the rainy, cold weather of this past week will be a thing of the past as temperatures are being forecast in the upper 60's for this weekend.  Here are your best bets for an October weekend:
1. Golub's Our Farm -- This Cazenovia family farm has been entertaining  kids and family for a number of years.  They open for the season with their "Giant" Corn Maze, "Boris" the pumpkin throwing catapult, a huge selection of pumpkins, petting zoo and more.  Check it out every weekend in October.
2.Fall Harvest Festival at Critz Farms -- Also in Cazenovia Critz is pressing cider this weekend at their Harvest Moon Cider Mill.  You can visit the Elephantastic Corn Maze (a salute to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse), pick your own apples, ride the cow train and so much more.  Do not miss out on a hot apple fritter while you are there.
3. Creepy Camp -- It's Baaack.  Again the folks at Camp High Esteem have put together one of the scariest attractions in Central New York.  You must check it out this year.  You can find Creepy Camp on Route 13, about 3 miles south of Chittenango.

Beatlemania Again! -- Recall the screaming girls?  It is that feeling all over again in Hamilton Saturday Night as the Palace Theater hosts Beatlemania Again presents the recreation of The Beatles phenomenon with an incredible simulation complete with fine tailored black velvet suits and the famous Beatles boots.
