More Fall Fun in the Grove!

September is always a great month in Forest Grove. The 28th Annual Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival & the 54th Annual Corn Roast and Fall Festival, both on Saturday, September 15th, are signature community events well worth attending. With more than 600 sidewalk chalk squares, visitors can come to draw, or just come to stroll around the historic downtown, listen to live music, and admire the creations of hundreds of locals of all ages. The Corn Roast features food, entertainment and fun family activities, in addition to an art show sponsored by the Forest Grove Public Arts Commission. Also, not to be missed is the 2nd Celebrate Great Grains Festival at our neighbor Lyle Speisschaert’s farm on Saturday, September 23rd from 10am-3pm. John and his bluegrass jam group will be featured there, as well as horse drawn wagon tours, vendors employing heritage grains for beverage and baked goods, and informational displays. The Friends of Historic Forest Grove Home Tour on September 23rd is another fantastic local offering. FG is the home of 3 National Register Historic Districts, and this event invites the public to tour a few of these historic homes to showcase historic architecture and our unique heritage.
