This Is What A Fall Festival Looks (And Sounds) Like
Can't make it out of the city this autumn to experience one of our Top Three Town Festivals For Fall Foodies? Don't worry, we went to one for you this weekend, after trekking from our usual roost in New York City to Northwest Ohio for the Grand Rapids Apple Butter Fest.
The freshly-churned apple butter, piping hot apple dumplings, bean soup and buffalo burgers aside, fall festivals such as this are truly the epicenters of the culture surrounding autumn. We can go crunch the leaves in Central Park whenever, but being surrounded by crafters who do wrought-iron cornstalks and stalls selling candles scented like pumpkin vanilla is a concentrated fall experience. But it's not too late to head to one of these festivals on your own!

Lake Erie Anglers Find Themselves Rudderless and Adrift on Renegade Ice Floe
A bunch of ice fishermen got stranded on a 13-kilometer-long ice floe that broke off in Lake Erie yesterday. Some of them freaked out and stampeded to find a nonexistent ice bridge back to the Ohio shoreline. Others kept their cool and played with their fish until help arrived. According to Ottawa County Sheriff Bob Bratton, all of the fishermen made an "idiotic" decision to climb onto the ice floe in the first place.
