PENN YAN, N.Y. (WENY) -- People from all over New York came out to Penn Yan on Saturday for Fall Fest at the Windmill, one of the biggest fall celebrations in the area.  

Hundreds came out to celebrate the Fall season. Roughly 180 vendors sold a variety of products at the Windmill Farm and Craft Market, from food and furniture to crafts and toys. There was fun for the whole family as parents and kids enjoyed rides in addition to live animals and music.  

“This is a beautiful area to come and do leaf pepping,” Mary Wilson, the event coordinator of Fall Fest, said. “The Windmill is a very popular spot to come, and I thought what a better place to do a Fall Fest. It's been a real success.”  

Gavin Spuck is the president of operations for his uncle's business, Sweet Carol-Swine BBQ. They specialize in making authentic sauces, sweet rubs, and seasonings with fruit as one main ingredient. Spuck was thrilled to provide unique items this year for festivalgoers and enjoyed sharing his uncle's passion with the community.  

"He wanted to do something different," Spuck said. "He loved smoking, grilling, and doing all of that, and he realized there wasn't much on the market for fruit-infused things, so he decided to start his own company and bring something new to the public." 

All the vendors at the Windmill Farm and Craft Market on Saturday will be back again for Day 2 of Fall Fest on Monday, October 10th.
