Build a campfire, if possible, in addition to heating up the grill. Decorate with seasonal fall items like cornstalks, pumpkins, gourds, hay bales and flowers. Children may collect colorful leaves and make a row down the center of the table. May use pumpkins and place orange or pumpkin scented candles inside.
For an activity with children, clean and cut a pumpkin into a face. Place a candle inside.

Tell lots of ghost and eery stories-true or false!

Fall Grill Cooking

While out looking at the fall leaves or treking to county fairs, take the grill and cook a meal or two along the way. Here is a sample of a Fall Affair. Store pork chops in an air tight container and keep cold until time to grill. Heat up the grill and cook. Mix up a pan of dressing and toss in a Dutch Oven. It will take about 45 minutes to cook. Take a can of green beans, pour off liquid and add a can of coke and cook down while the dressing is cooking. Toss some carrot slices in vinaigrette dressing and you'll be good to go with salad. Mix up a yellow cake in an aluminum pan and cook while you are eating or make this first. Bring along some tubes of frosting and allow the kids to decorate the cake while the other food is grilling. Fall into the fun of grilling with this Fall Affair.
