Fall in the Tri Cities is too good to let it pass you by! 🍂
We put together a local fall bucket list filled with some of our favorite ways to enjoy the season right here in St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia. From apple picking and pumpkin patches to warm c***r donuts, downtown shopping, local restaurants, fall walks, and everything in between, there are so many ways to make the most of fall without going far from home.
How many can you check off before the season is over?
And we want to hear your local favorites! Where do you go for the best c***r donut? Favorite pumpkin patch? Go-to fall drink? Favorite local restaurant, park, or spot for a fall walk? Drop your recommendations in the comments so we can all add a few more stops to our fall bucket lists!
We love fall here in the Tri Cities!!
Fall favorites, but make it This or That! 🍂
We’re putting some of our favorite things about fall head-to-head, and we want to know which ones you’re choosing. But really, who says it can’t be both?
Tell us your fall favorites in the comments, and we might just have the perfect local recommendation for where to find them around St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia!

Another Local Partner Spotlight, just in time for cooler weather! 🍂
McNally’s Heating & Cooling has an important fall reminder: your HVAC system needs a little seasonal prep, too.
Your furnace may have been sitting mostly unused for months, but soon it’ll be working every day to keep your home comfortable. A fall tune-up helps make sure your heating system is ready to go before that first real cold snap arrives. Because the worst time to discover a furnace problem is on the first freezing night!
McNally’s is offering fall tune-up specials right now, so it’s the perfect time to get your home ready for the season ahead.
