SCRANTON. — November is a time for family gatherings. But weeks before carving turkeys and baking pumpkin pies, many folks in Lackawanna County are enjoying a new tradition — Lackawanna Heritage Valley’s Fall Family Fun Day. This free event brought the community together to celebrate the season with activities that delighted guests of all ages.
Kids and parents alike enjoyed creating seasonal crafts, listening to captivating tales during Storytime, and meeting animals up close at the petting zoo. A cozy campfire provided warmth and the chance to indulge in a timeless fall treat: gooey, roasted s’mores.
“It’s a free event — a gift to the community,” said April Rogato, Executive Assistant for the Lackawanna Heritage Valley. “We want more people to learn about the trail and our organization.”
The Fall Family Fun Day served as an opportunity to connect the community with the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail and the organization’s efforts to promote outdoor recreation, environmental education, and regional heritage.
As laughter and the crackling of the fire filled the air, attendees expressed gratitude for the chance to unwind, make memories, and learn more about the natural and cultural treasures of the area.
The event was a shining example of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley’s mission to bring people together while fostering a love for the outdoors and the region’s unique history. With its welcoming spirit and engaging activities, the Fall Family Fun Day proved to be a highlight of the season for families in Lackawanna County.
