The flooding rains are winding down, but ski resorts still have many Fall-type activities taking place. Last week I told you about several of these great, family oriented activities, and with peak color approaching over higher elevations, I have more activities to tell you about. Here are just a few. Watch for updates.
Belleayre Mountain – Highmount, NY
Belleayre Gearing Up Preparations for 31st Annual Fall Festival at Overlook Lodge
There’s a chill in the air and the first leaves at the summit are just starting to turn so that means one thing. Belleayre is currently ramping up in preparation for the 31st Annual Fall Festival and Craft Fair on Columbus Day Weekend on October 9 and 10. This year is going to be bigger and better than ever with an expanded entertainment village including concerts by a number of local favorites including the local rock of Detour, the classic reggae of The Big Takeover, Belleayre regulars and favorites The Trapps fresh from opening for America at the Belleayre Music Festival and the alt-rock of New Paltz based Ratboy. The popular zipline run by Catskill Outback Adventure will be back this year. And of course the festival will feature an expanded selection of local artisans and craft fair vendors and fair food vendors that have been the core attraction of this long-standing popular event which traditionally draws around 5000 people per day. And the Huge Winter Apparel and Ski Gear Sale will be back as well. Vendors who are interested in participating in the Fall Festival should contact Belleayre at 254-5600 x2474.
