The “Taste of Fall Festival” at Lake Compounce will take place the last two weekends in September and will feature special entertainment, a hearty autumn all-you-can-eat buffet, and colorful fall decorations. A $10 discount will be applied to the regular admission price with a donation of a kid-friendly, non-perishable food item such as macaroni and cheese, granola bars, apple sauce, soup, cereal, peanut butter, etc. Two local area food banks, the Connecticut Food Bank in East Haven and Foodshare in Bloomfield, will be the recipients of the food donations. The dates of the Taste of Fall Festival weekends will be September 20, 21, 27 and 28. Lake Compounce will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. but the water park will be closed. The park will be decked out with plenty of fall pumpkins and hay bales, and great entertainment in the catering pavilion area will add to the festive atmosphere. The “Sunshine Road” will appear in Kiddieland, Jason Pipitone will entertain along the midway, and the Martin Kelly Band will play in the catering pavilion area. The all-you-can-eat buffet will feature a special harvest menu and will be open from noon until 4:00 p.m. The price for the buffet, in addition to a general admission ticket, will be: $12.95 for ages 13 and up, $9.95 for children aged 4-12, and the buffet is free for children under 4 years of age. For those friends of Lake Compounce who would prefer to only stroll through the park and enjoy the midway entertainment, a special general admission rate for these two weekends of $5.95 will be offered. “September is a wonderful month in Connecticut to enjoy our fall weather and the colorful fall foliage, and we invite everyone to make the most of the season and experience our Taste of Fall Festival,” said Jerry Brick, general manager of Lake Compounce.
