Fall is such a beautiful season, the weather is beginning to get cooler and the leaves are starting to turn beautiful shades of yellow and orange. Fall in Boone is like no other. Fall in Boone is the definition of beauty.

To begin, Appalachian State looks like something from a movie. Our campus is a new level of picture worthy once the leaves start changing. It's a sight I could never get tired of. Along with campus being stunning, the weather is beginning to get colder, so everyone's fall outfits begin to come out. Campus starts to be taken over by bean boots, oversized sweaters, and flannels.

Fall also means for game days. The Rock is the place to be on Saturdays in order to cheer on the best team in the High Country. You no longer have to sit in the sun and sweat while watching App beat their opponent. It's now cool and perfect weather for a football game, along with a stunning view of the mountains.

Let's not forget that fall means it's October ... a.k.a. Halloween. Halloween is the best of the best. From the typical halloween parties, to trick or treating in dorms. There's always the Tweetsie Railroad which is all decked out for Halloween and slight scares as a ghost train. You also can't celebrate fall without carving a pumpkin because it's just not fall without it. No matter what it always seems like something is going on every weekend in Boone in order to celebrate Fall.

So everyone grab your oversized sweater and cup of coffee because it's time to sit down and enjoy the beauty of fall in Boone. Carve a pumpkin, go to a festival, or take a ride on the parkway and catch a sunset; just find a way to enjoy what Boone has to offer for the fall. Oh and, HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!
