Orchard to host fall farm festival

By Aaron Wiens

Fall festivals have arrived in DeKalb.

The Jonamac Orchard, 19412 Shabbona Road in Malta, will host an antique farm equipment show this weekend which will feature working equipment from decades ago, Jonamac Orchard employee Shery Sanderson said.

There will also be hayrides to the pick-your-own pumpkin patch the entire weekend, Sanderson said.

On Sunday there will be horse drawn wagon rides and live music from noon to 4 p.m., and the corn maze will be open on Columbus Day, Sanderson said.

The barn yard activity area will be open all three days along with the apple train and apple launcher, Sanderson said.

The apple cart concession stand will be open all weekend with lunches, soft serve ice cream, sundaes, donuts, caramel apples and other goodies, Sanderson said.
