Nothing says fall like ridiculous harvest festivals in small-town America. This week, we'll be mapping the best.
We've done our share of Oktoberfest coverage, from the original in Munich to the far-from-original in LA. But for the most authentic beer-and-brats celebration this side of the Rhine, you've gotta get to Hermann, Missouri. This little hamlet is more German than sauerkraut, and they show it off every weekend in October.

Not much happens in little ol' Circleville, Ohio, a town of 12,000 about 25 miles south of Columbus. You'll find a bunch of OSU Buckeye fans and maybe some Skybus devotees, but other than that, it's farm country. Which is what makes it so perfect for a giant pumpkin shindig.
