By Ashley Foreman [email protected]

After what seemed like an eternal summer, cooler weather has finally made its way to Drew County. Across the county, leaves are beginning to change and the plant life is beginning to die off, even though autumn officially began one month ago. In our area, this time of year signifies many long standing traditions. Friday night high school football and Saturday college football are ever present. People of all ages gather their camouflage clothing and hats and head to the woods to harvest their annual kill. For others, this time of year brings the excitement of the holiday season. Beginning with Halloween on the last day of October, and going smoothly into Thanksgiving and Christmas, holidays are always fun in Drew County.
