Fall is just around the corner, with some signs of the season already upon us.
Do you love picking apples, or is there a special event each fall that you enjoy?
What are you looking forward to this fall?
Here's what we've heard so far
Scott from Lonesome Polecat Mushing in Chisholm said, "When fall arrives, I am ready for dryland mushing season. Bikjor, rig, scooter and canicross. There will be events starting in October.
"This is dog teams pulling these wheeled items," he added, referencing the submitted picture shown above.
Another listener texted, "It's finally perfect camping weather in the fall!"
KAXE Music Producer Malachy Koons said he's looking forward to getting his sweaters and flannels and other cool weather clothes out of the closet.
Producer Jennifer Barr is excited to watch her son Zane run in his senior year cross-country season.
Heidi Holtan, KAXE's Director of Content and Public Affairs, is excited for the smell of decaying leaves and football games that bring out the nostalgia of marching band times. Also, hoping for the warblers to move in soon, and watching the fall bird migration through Bird Cast!
Stories from you are at the core of KAXE, and have kept us going since 1976. Sharing stories makes us human and helps us understand each other in a sometimes isolated world.
What are you looking forward to this fall? Let us know!
