Fall Into Tipp/ HarvestFest – October
It’s a CELEBRATION of Fall here in Tipp City, Ohio! We love the smell of burning leaves, the weather turning crisp, and the sound of leaves skittering in the streets. And we LOVE to celebrate the changing of the seasons – this year, we’re putting together a whole slate of fun activities, from Ghost Tours and Children’s Costume Parades to an adults only Costume Bash known as HarvestFest. Join us for the fun!
