Gwinnett Daily Post

All around Gwinnett, trees are losing their leaves and sweaters are making their way to the front of the closet. Pumpkin patches are becoming more prevalent and store shelves are stocked with candy and costumes.

Fall is in the air.

That means a rush on outdoor activities before the days grow too cold, dark and short for frolicking outside. And this weekend is no exception.

From Lilburn Daze to the Hispanic Heritage Festival, there are plenty of reasons to enjoy the fall air this weekend.

So put on that sweater, jump through the leaves and enjoy the great outdoors.
