I HAVE A FALL CONFESSION, SO BRACE YOURSELF. Pumpkin spice—I’m just not that into it. I know. I hear the gasps already, but it’s true. I figure I’m simply saving room for all the other fantastic food finds around Franklin. October is our food issue, and this month at Franklin Lifestyle, we’re all about feasting with foodies as we just scratch the surface of all the fine eats and drinks around Franklin.

I’m more of a wine girl myself, so this month’s feature is right up my alley. Drink wine in the name of supporting a local charity? I’m there! The 14th annual Franklin Wine Festival is back at The Factory at Franklin this month. Check it out, and come say hello to me.

For the budding mixologist, we have some spooky drinks you can stir up for a Halloween party or fall gathering with friends. Feel free to take full credit for these creative cocktails! I promise we won’t tell your guests!

Or if slicing and dicing is your hobby, learn what tools a local professional chef uses to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

WITH THE CHANGING OF THE LEAVES AND A CHILL IN THE AIR COMES A NEW TRADITION THAT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR

HERE

IN

FRANKLIN. Picking pumpkins is no longer about making a quick trip to the corner stand or grocery store. Going straight to the source with a visit to the pumpkin patch is giving families the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together. There are several pumpkin patches within driving distance of Franklin, but Gentry's Farm is the local favorite and one of the most popular.

The farm, located off Highway 96, is nearly 400 acres of farmland that has been owned and operated by seven generations of the Gentry family for more than 165 years.

Although it is still a working farm that raises beef cattle and offers educational programs to school-age children, much of its seasonal focus is on the pumpkin patch. This year's activities include three different corn mazes, nature trails, a river walk, farm animal encounters, and numerous games and activities for the kids. One of the most popular attractions is a wagon ride that takes you past the three historic homes located on the property, and there are numerous locations set up through the farm that serve as the perfect backdrop for a fall family photo.Gentry's Farm is open to the public on weekends Sept. 29-Oct. 29.

There is no cost to visit the pumpkin patch, but there is an admission fee of $8 to enter the farm and activity area.

The Franklin Wine Festival Celebrates 14 Years GOOD WINE, GOOD FOOD AND A GOOD CAUSE 20

Franklin Lifestyle | October 2018

THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT REASONS TO ATTEND A LOCAL WINE FESTIVAL, BUT WE WILL GIVE YOU YET ANOTHER ONE: COOL SPRINGS WINES & SPIRITS PRESENTS THE FRANKLIN WINE FESTIVAL TO BENEFIT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS SUPPORTED BY NISSAN. The event is about to raise its glass and cheers to its 14th year and almost $2 million being raised for Big Brothers Big Sisters. The festival idea was born out of shop owners Jackie and James “Woody” Woodard wanting to find a way to support the community in Williamson County. The generous resources raised by the Franklin Wine Festival are used to foster the mentor relationships of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Their goal is to provide the children a long-term relationship that will encourage them to make good decisions in all avenues of their lives: educational, behavioral and social.

Having a strong, trusting relationship builds self-esteem, allows for growth and provides confidence. To date, 1,267 children have been placed with a mentor through the benefits of the Franklin Wine Festival.

This year’s event is set to be held at The Factory on Oct. 12. In addition to Cool Springs Wines & Spirits providing and coordinating a delicious selection of wine for the festival, it will also be offering deep discounts on all of the wine you couldn’t get enough of at the festival. The sale begins the following day, Saturday, Oct. 13 and runs through Oct. 20. This means you can enjoy your evening focusing on the hundreds of wine options, mouthwatering food and the great cause, then load your car up the next week at the store with cases of your favorites from the festival.

I'll never forget that phone call I received from Brylee's daycare--telling me she was involved in a horrible accident after a toy malfunctioned.

We did not know how to deal with the chaos, medical bills, and the daycare's insurance company. John and his team were awesome.

They educated us on the process, kept us informed, and expertly guided us every step of the way. Things will never be the same, but now we have peace of mind that Brylee's future will be taken care of. I will forever refer everyone who needs an injury attorney to GriffithLaw.

HOPS & VINE

EXPENSIVE WINES: ARE THEY REALLY WORTH THE PRICE? ARTICLE STACEY FINK PEOPLE OFTEN ASK, “IS IT REALLY WORTH SPENDING THE MONEY ON AN EXPENSIVE WINE?” And the answer is a complicated one.

Sometimes it’s yes, and other times it’s no. There’s really no need to open a $50 bottle of wine on pizza night, but splurging on a high-end bottle for a special occasion is definitely worth the extra expense.

But what makes a bottle of wine pricier than others?

Many reasons: quantity produced, quality of the

grapes and where the grapes were grown are just some of the factors playing into price-point. Bottom line: Does this all really affect the taste? To some, it’s not so easy to detect; to others, it’s more obvious.

A value-priced bottle, whether it be white or red, sometimes tastes a little sweeter because there is more residual sugar kept during the winemaking process. The vast majority of people gravitate toward sweetness; therefore their palate isn’t used to a more expensive bottle, which has more complexity and layers of flavors with minimal amounts of residual sugar.

Less expensive bottles are ones you drink now, while expensive ones can be held so it ages further, benefiting the taste of the wine. Below are examples of similar wines but with different price points. Open up that $12 chardonnay with a late-afternoon cheese platter, but do spend the money on a fabulous pinot noir celebrating that much-deserved promotion!

OCTOBER

Premier Preschool Nurtures Literacy Skills at All Ages Research shows that the first five years of a child’s life hold the most potential for development – consider it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for learning! During these years, it’s crucial to nurture early literacy skills, like rhyming and letter and sound recognition, which lay the groundwork for fundamental abilities such as reading, writing and spelling.

As with any skill or subject, there’s no one-size-fitsall approach to teaching literacy skills, especially since children learn to read and write at different rates and ages. At Primrose School of Cool Springs, teachers understand the need to support children based on their individual needs. The Primroseexclusive approach, called Balanced Learning®, offers varied experiences that spark children’s curiosity regardless of their learning style through a balance of purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers.

“Balanced Learning is special because it takes into consideration children’s developmental levels and provides different, connected experiences so that they can learn in their own way and at their own pace,” said Rebecca Frizzell, Franchise Owner of Primrose School of Cool Springs. “Whether it’s literacy skills, motor skills, music, arts, science or life skills, the learning is just natural and fun for the children.”

The Balanced Learning Approach to Reading and Writing Every day, Primrose® children participate in literacy lessons that are taught in a fun, game-like way. Using rhymes, poems and songs, children exercise oral fluency skills – the ability to communicate clearly – and memory, comprehension skills, new vocabulary and phonological awareness. Similarly, children are guided by teachers at the classroom Writing Center to practice writing at their own level, using meaningful writing activities.

Part of what makes Balanced Learning unique is that these literacy lessons are woven into classroom experiences throughout the day. For example, teachers explain and use appropriate higher-level math, science and engineering vocabulary during STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) experiences. Throughout the day, children sing songs and recite poems frequently to develop their oral fluency – an important step toward learning to read. Additionally, children

engage in meaningful writing projects that vary from drawing or listing their observations as part of an age-appropriate science experiment to creating thank you notes for loved ones during character development lessons.

“At Primrose, we give children opportunities throughout the day to practice reading, speaking, listening and writing to help them view these skills as not only important, but also a natural and enjoyable part of their everyday lives,” said Rebecca Frizzell. “Children experience the activities as play and fun, but in reality, each element of the Primrose approach is designed with a purpose to help them develop the foundational skills they need to succeed later on.”

Encouraging Reading and Writing Skills at Home Parents can encourage literacy skills at home through simple activities, like reading with and talking to children, which has been proven to benefit language skills from the time children are born.

Examples of other activities that support literacy skill development include: • Reading cardboard books with infants and toddlers so they can hear language while turning the pages and pointing to familiar objects on the page.

• Practicing animal noises with toddlers to help them identify and replicate different language sounds.

• Playing rhyming games with preschoolers, like trying to name as many words that rhyme with “cat.”

• Encouraging both gross and fine motor skill development, which aid children in learning to write. Running and climbing outdoors builds gross motor strength, and stacking and dressing activities grow fine motor skills.

• Making writing easily accessible for children by setting up a writing/drawing table in a common area at home with paper, crayons, markers and more.

No matter how children are exposed to literacy concepts, they respond best when we relate reading and writing activities to what they love. Write letters to heroes if your child is a superhero fanatic, or read books about ballerinas if your child loves to dance.

Connecting literacy lessons with children’s favorite things will help them view reading and writing as fun activities rather than skills to be learned.
