      The town of Gibsons had to say their goodbyes to the summer of 1866 and welcome the fall season though it was a very eventful summer with new additions being built on the houses and new improvements to local community lots.Summer was over and the weather was expected to start getting colder as they got closer to the arrival of winter.The festival lot was also getting ready for the fall festival as the season got started and they were also seeing other new changes around town.
   There were other things starting to change around town at that time like the weather was a bit cooler at night and new lots were marked out.The residents were also starting to make their preparations for the coming winter as fall arrived.They didn't want to be caught unprepared like the previous year when they'd been struggling to get settled into their new homes before winter arrived and caught them completely off guard.
    Eli and Ami Jankowsky were also getting ready for the coming winter by adding onto their house to expand their living area.They wanted to have more space before winter arrived so they could have more things in the house.They were also wanting to visit the fall festival during that day since they didn't have work until the next day.They were lucky to live near the festival and didn't have far to go.
   Tha Jankowskys decided to have a day at the fall festival one day in fall before winter arrived and they had to stay at home most days because of the weather.It was getting along in the fall season and they needed to finish making the preparations for the arrival of winter.They could only hope that the winter of 1866 wouldn't be a cold harsh winter and that they would still be able to continue building.
   They went over to the festival and got to enjoy some of the food and playing soccer before they had to eat and use the washroom.They were also harvesting pumpkins and having fun with the other festival activities for most of the time before they got to visit the haunted house.They saw the ice cream truck still around town since it wasn't late enough that the ice cream truck retired for the season yet.
    It was starting to get dark out when they made it to the haunted house and took their tours of it.The tours were fun though it was a scary thing to do and it was getting to that time of the year when trees dropped their leaves.They ended up having to leave the festival after the tours of the haunted house because they were getting tired and it was already 8PM which was time to be getting to bed for the night.
     The Olsons had built a bedroom for their house so they could have more room for toys and games as Tad grew older and started to change her interests.It had rained hard a few times in the fall and it was the middle of the season though it was getting towards late fall and adding to their house was taking them at least a few days to finish.The Jankowskys had also been adding to their house before winter.
    There were also sunny days in the fall when building was more enjoyable and they didn't have to worry about framing and drywall getting soaked.The Olsons had started building another addition to their house after the bedroom was finished so they'd have room for a proper kitchen with a stove.They wanted to be able to eat hot meals occasionally in the wintertime and not be stuck with just salad for their meals.
    The Olsons had finished the new room with two more days left until winter started and they were having to get ready for colder weather with winter clothing.It was also time to start locking down the outdoor pools around town before winter arrived.It was a busy day for all of the residents of Gibsons as they spent one of the last days of fall getting ready for winter which was starting in a few days even if it didn't snow.
     It was early in the morning and the Jankowskys were finished with their own new addition to their house and it was the last day of fall.It was so cold that the ground was covered in frost and it was just getting light out as everyobdy was getting up for the day.The jankowskys had a few things to pack up for the winter since they couldn't use them indoors and it would be too cold to use them outside in the winter.
     The last day of fall had gone by very quickly and it was evening before they knew it though they'd both had work and they also had gotten changed into warmer clothing for the winter though they'd still have to change again.Everybody was ready for winter and they all had gotten to bed early enough to not mess up their schedules.It had been a mild night without any frost and they had a clear sky as they fell asleep.
    The fall festival got cleared up in the night and the town got the winter festival set up in the night as the residents were sleeping.There was also another project being worked on to add a junkyard to the town and it went in next to the Mountain Road Store which was near the Jankowsky farm.
