Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 4, 2025, when the CCEDC Community & Family Fall Festival takes over the Dutchess County Farm and Home Center for one unforgettable day. Hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County, this all-ages celebration is packed with seasonal fun, local expertise, and hands-on activities that bring our community together. Paint your own pumpkin, meet friendly 4-H animals, get free gardening tips from the pros, and discover energy-saving resources you can use right at home. With something for every age and interest, it is the perfect way to spend a fall day with family, friends, and neighbors while supporting education, sustainability, and the local spirit we all love.

• Ask a Master Gardener Booth
• Child Supply Take-Away (FREE STUFF!)
• Energy Advisor info & resources
• Youth Pumpkin Painting
• Meet 4-H Clubs & Animals!
• Snack Trucks
• and much more!

Master Gardener volunteers will also be conducting a Succulent Sale fundraiser!

The Family & Consumer Education Program and volunteers will be hosting a FREE Child Supply Take-Away where “outgrown” meets “needed.” Families and community organizations can bring gently used kids’ essentials (newborn to 18 years old) and take what they need, all for free. It’s an easy, stress-free swap that helps parents save money, supports local families, and keeps useful items out of landfills.

Donated items must be dropped off before the Fall Festival. Click here for complete information!
