 The official start of autumn is still a few days away, but a celebration of the fall colors was already held over this past weekend. For over 20 years, people have gathered at Point of Vista north of Bemidji for their annual fall color festival. Visitors got to enjoy live demonstrations, food and music. Wagon rides through the forest were provided so that everyone could see the array of vibrant colors. The fall colors are popping earlier this year, making a beautiful, painted landscape. The colors are fabulous. It's a lot earlier turning than last year. We've got lots of nice maples up on top and the ridge, you know, from the views you can see all the different yellows and oranges and reds and just a beautiful array of colors. If you missed the festival, Point of Vista is offering private wagon rides and for more information you can visit the website right there.
