The leaves are changing colors and crisp air is in the making, which means the season of candy corn and pumpkin spice lattes is right around the corner. If fall was a feeling, it would be a football Sunday with the windows slightly cracked and a crockpot full of chili. It’s time to get in the cobweb and cranberry spirit! Autumn in Addison is extra lively this year with plenty of fall festivities.
