While in Meadville there will be time to visit other local shops to find that special souvenir of the area.

After the cruise, the afternoon will be spent at the 19th annual Conneaut Lake Pumpkin Fest where hundreds of vendors display their wares and a large variety of delicious food is available for lunch and snacks. The festival also offers a myriad of entertainment such as the Button Box Player, “Elvis,” waitress races, pumpkin pie eating contest, “The Monkey Man,” and who would want to miss a 1,000 pound pumpkin being dropped on a truck.

After a great afternoon of food and entertainment it will be time to do some touring and tasting at the internationally acclaimed Conneaut Cellars Winery. While in the area you will be able to enjoy the beautiful colored leaves of the rolling hills of Pennsylvania.
