A beautiful autumn afternoon in and around Peru
The Town of Peru and nearby towns are a beautiful place to live anytime, but especially in autumn. Today the Ausable River was raging following the recent rains; hence, Ausable Chasm was absolutely beautiful. Sullivan Orchard’s huge pumpkin patch on the corner of the Davern Road and Route 22 was being enjoyed by passersby and visitors alike. Jim and Melvin Irwin were picking apples in their River Rd. orchard within sight of the Peru School. Forrence Orchard’s 200+ pickers were at work and haulers were transporting apples to the River Road warehouse. The Peru Fire Department was hosting a wonderful children’s day. Young children climbed up in the trucks, watched the demonstrations and enjoyed all the free food. Although The Peru Gazette didn’t have the time to visit Rulf’s Orchard we’re sure they were jammed with customers. Apple Jack’s on the Brand Hollow Rd. was very busy with families and children picking their own apples and enjoying a wonderful fall afternoon together.

Thanks for the great photos John!
Yes, Rulfs was having a busy day today as well. We had a great time in their pirate themed corn maze. It was a beautiful day for a walk and fun to learn about the pirate world on strategically placed signs. Afterwards the kids played on their giant jumpy house and picked apples. The wind was chilly but the sky was blue and everyone was happy. And of course we all enjoyed apple cider and baked treats before we left!
