This week's PUG blast from the past!

TootsUncommon will be making its second appearance at the Burlington, IN Fall Festival this weekend.  As September rolled in it seemed that the first weekend was jammed packed with fall festivals.  It got me and Tootsie Roll thinking about why...why so many fall festivals, especially in the month of September?
