What a terrific fall outing. As you may have read, I am not thrilled by this summery weather, but next week might be a good time to do that. It should be cold and gray, the way I like it.Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29204932.post-49482702524766233672007-10-21T12:08:00.000-06:002007-10-21T12:08:00.000-06:00Tne Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my all time ...Tne Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my all time favorites. Although I have visited Washington Irving's haunts out East, my favorite way to celebrate this author is right here in Illinos. Every year throughout October the Bourbonnais Park District (yes, this would be the same place as Bear's training camp), re-enact the story of Ichabod Crane and the headless horseman...mind you with a real headless-costumed man on a stallion. It's actually meant for kids (I have taken mine many times since they were about 8 or 9 years), and so although it makes you heart pound, it is not terribly scary. It takes place at Perry Farm, where a guide takes you through the woods from bonfire to bonfire all the time telling you the story of Ichabod. When you arrive at the last bonfire, guess who appears! More info in at www.btpd.org, the park district website. There are also fun hayrides and other activities. Well worth the drive if you like storytelling!
