It’s finally fall!

Pull out your sweaters, scarfs, and get to the coffee shop immediately for that pumpkin spice latte. Here at Bisnett Insurance Fall is one of our favorite times of year. Especially in our Northwest locations that are already covered by red and orange leaves! Here are some of our favorite things to do in fall.

 

Going to the Pumpkin Patch!

While driving through Oregon there is no way you can miss the sea of bright Orange pumpkins consuming the country side. Just outside of Portland is a great area to start if you’re looking to begin your hunt for the perfect pumpkin. It’s always so fun to get together with family or friends on the weekend, grab a wheelbarrow, and search for the one that’s right for you.

Not only are there hundreds of pumpkins, but usually there are corn mazes, and fun events that happen every weekend. It truly feels like fall when you’re on the pumpkin patch. Bring some boots and get started on yours if you haven’t yet. It’s that time of year!

Football is back!

The long awaited college and NFL season finally started back up. Whether we are watching from our couch at home or cheering on our teams in the cold, crisp, air Football is back and it’s beautiful. Football Sunday is like a holiday that we get to celebrate every week. Here in our offices in Lake Oswego rivalries are forming. It’s usually Beaver against the Ducks with even a little Cougar talk thrown in there. We enjoy our sports here, and are so happy that the season has started back up.

Cool nights!

Summer is finally over, and it was a hot one this year! For all of us without AC this is what we’ve been waiting for. Finally we can sleep without waking up in a sweat. It’s nice to finally be able to bundle up and not have to worry about finding a way to cool down. Still, we know what’s ahead of us. Winter will be here sooner than we know, and then we will be asking for the summer heat to come back.

The Leaves!

The definitive characteristic of fall is the beautiful color of the changing leaves. Nothing signifies a changing season like the leaves turning from green to red and orange colors and then falling to cover the streets. The Northwest is one of the most beautiful areas during fall, and we are in love with how our environment changes.

Oktoberfest!

Nothing says fall like the seasonal brews at your local Oktoberfest. This year we are honored to sponsor the Pendleton Oktoberfest for the second straight year. The food and drinks accompany the weather to make it the perfect event for your family and friends. If there is an Oktoberfest in your area don’t miss out!

Halloween

What are you going to be this year? Fall means Halloween is almost back, and with that comes some great costumes and events. Halloween isn’t for everyone, but you will probably still get that trick-or-treater knocking on your door for candy. Don’t be the person that doesn’t answer the door for the little 3 year old Elsa. Just give her some candy! Or dress up like a witch and scare them. It’s all for fun at the end of the day, and who doesn’t like having fun.

Thanksgiving!

I’m full thinking about it! There is nothing like gathering around the table with your family and friends to enjoy some delicious home cooked meals. Even if they aren’t always home cooked it’s still a great time to get together and celebrate what you are thankful for. It’s going to be here sooner than think, so you better start preparing your stomach’s now for all that turkey and pumpkin pie!

Everyone at Bisnett wants to wish you a happy fall season. We hope that it is a time to be with your family and friends and have some peace of mind before the crazy months of winter. We hope you are as excited as we are for the sweater weather, Football games, Seasonal events, and holidays. Be safe and have fun!
