Colorful leaves falling, a chill in the air, a scarf around the neck, pumpkins, gourds and Halloween decor... Well, it must be Fall! And, with Fall comes a line up of wonderful festivities and exhibits the City of Gaithersburg has in store for us to explore, admire and partake in.

This year's 22nd annual celebration of Oktoberfest will be the biggest to date. The festival has proven to be so successful over the years that it has expanded to cover more grounds and venues within Kentlands. It will be a huge event!

Also, on Oktoberfest, the Kentlands Mansion and its grounds will be open to the public. So, one can see my current exhibition.
