With the days getting shorter the weekends are filling up pretty fast on the calendar between now and Thanksgiving. What are the local family traditions that you still fallow in your family or where you live? I know many have harvest to get done with but is there any thing you do with the family or friends every fall around the harvest schedule?
What got me thinking about this is I have been playing phone tag with some of my family the last week to schedule a weekend for the family to make burgoo. For those who don't know, burgoo (like bar-b-q) changes shape and flavor about every 20 miles. What we make is pretty much just real thick vegetable soup with a smokey flavor. 20 miles east of me it's a real thin spicy cooked cabbage concocktion with a little bit of hamburger in it, 20 miles more and it is a real spicy soup with barbeque sauce dumped in it. 20 miles north and it is a thiner version of our's only with cabbage.
Most all the family pitches in and brings what they have or adds money to who ever went to GFS or Sam's to get stuff. I always make sure we have enough dry wood. Some of us go to my cousin's house the night before to peel and cut up 'taters and drink beer while we are doing it. We take turns stir'n and cooking hot dogs on a pitch fork under the kettle. Good time for all, the whole family setting around the fire talking and eating.
Other than the family burgoo, some one round here has a bonfire about every weekend the weather is fit in the fall. Some one tosses a match on a brush pile and every one they know shows up with hot dogs and beer. A few folks will get together a hay ride. Dove day was two weeks ago, that is the first sign of fall. Deer day will be here in two months.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
