The Legend of Sleepy Hollow in Concert

Last night we enjoyed a festive evening at the American Fork Amphitheater watching "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow in Concert." It was family-friendly with hayrides, spooky stories and fun games for kids... cat's cradle, stick pull, etc. They had soup, cocoa and other tasty treats for sale to warm you up, because it was a wonderful crisp fall evening. The show was fantastic, opened by the American Fork Children's Chorale.

We had a wonderful time and will definitely go again next year. The amphitheater is a great venue and the LIVE horse for the horseman was very exciting.

If you haven't seen it yet, and are in the area, see it tonight... it's the last night!!!

More Canyon Colors

Being so close to American Fork Canyon and the Alpine Loop, we drive up the canyon at least once a week in the fall to see how the colors have changed. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen the leaves turn and I feel so blessed to have it be so close!

The Timpanogos Caves National Monument is near the mouth of the canyon and a fabulous place to visit if you are in the area, but hurry, because the cave trail closes for the season on October 14th.

American Fork High School - The Cavemen

American Fork has just one high school, AFHS. The Cavemen. Although they have a great football team, 6-3 this season, they have a fantastic marching band. They will be marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. John Miller is their instructor, who also conducts the local community band, the Wasatch Winds.

Autumn Apple

Walking through the streets in American Fork, you can see apple trees growing in people's yards. Many of them large and leggy with about a million tiny apples growing on them. As you walk under their branches, watch out. They fall, "plop," whenever they please!

American Fork Canyon Colors

The Alpine Loop is a popular drive this time of year. The colors are spectacular!
