With the fall season officially here, local community organizers are preparing to offer fun activities and events for those of all ages.

Whether it's apple picking, pumping decorating or attending a fall workshop at Cornerstone Center for the Arts, the news season brings new opportunities to both students and community members. 

The annual workshops encourage students and community members to let our their creative sides while also making learning activities fun for everyone. There are six workshops offered this fall, each varying in date, activity and cost. The workshops run from mid-September and go through Dec. 10, and will be held at Cornerstone, located on Main Street in downtown Muncie, unless otherwise noted. 

For students without a car, the MITS buses offer transportation from campus and into the downtown area.
