Finally, the hot days of summer have come to an end and the mornings are even feeling a bit… crisp! Fall is in the air, and even besides the cooler temps (and the fall foliage), there’s a lot to love about autumn in beautiful Johnston County. Here are some of the best fall activities in Clayton, NC.

This one actually runs all summer long, but if you haven’t checked it out yet, now’s your last chance! The market concludes for the year at the end of the month, so stop by Horne Square one of these Saturday mornings to browse all the great local goods, produce, and fresh-baked treats!
