Fall is the most beautiful time of the year. The leaves change into the most extraordinary colors, pumpkins are assorted all over town, girls are wearing their stylish clothes of leggings, flannel tops, and combat boots, and the heat and humidity from summer comes to an end. September in Elyria, Ohio means that the Annual Apple Festival in Ely Square is just around the corner. Civilians of Elyria can come stop by to try assorted foods, such as greasy, delicious elephant ears and funnel cakes, sticky caramel apples that melt your taste buds, twelve inch corn dogs, amazing smitty burgers, Hershey's wonderful ice cream and amazing chicken paprikash, delicious potato pancakes, and refreshing lemonade etc. Halloween decor also starts to appear in stores, around people's yards, and at different parts of the city.
