Stamford Farm Kicks Off Fall With a Festival

STAMFORD, Conn. – There will be apple slingshots, pumpkin carving, scarecrows and  more when the Stamford Museum and Nature Center celebrates the start of fall this weekend with its annual Harvest Festival.

In addition to the fall-themed events there will also be live music Sunday from Fairfield County resident Nick Marino. [Museum] He plays folk, rock and pop and covers such artists as the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, and Train, a press release said.

Festival-goers can also enter the “Name Our Pig,” meaning the two guinea hogs that came to the farm at the end of September. The winner will receive free admission for four to the Maple Sugar Weekend in March and Spring on the Farm in May, according to the museum’s website.
