    As the air turns crisp and the trees transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, Platte County becomes the perfect destination for fall adventures. Whether you prefer cozy weekends close to home or exploring scenic spots nearby, there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of the season.

    1. Visit a Local Pumpkin Patch or Orchard
    No fall season is complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard. Spend the day picking pumpkins, sipping warm cider, and enjoying hayrides with family and friends. These local farms often offer corn mazes, petting zoos, and seasonal treats that capture the spirit of autumn.

    2. Explore Weston’s Fall Charm
    Just a short drive from most of Platte County, the historic town of Weston is a must-visit in the fall. Stroll along Main Street to shop local boutiques, visit wineries or distilleries, and take in the small-town atmosphere. Weston Bend State Park offers some of the most breathtaking fall foliage views overlooking the Missouri River—perfect for a hike or a scenic drive.

    3. Take a Fall Hike or Nature Walk
    Platte County’s parks are full of color this time of year. Weston Bend State Park, Barry Road Park, and Platte Ridge Park all have walking trails surrounded by fall leaves and peaceful scenery. Bring a thermos of coffee or cocoa and enjoy a leisurely morning outdoors.

    4. Attend a Fall Festival
    Local communities throughout Platte County host fall festivals filled with food, music, crafts, and family fun. These gatherings are a great way to connect with neighbors and celebrate the season while supporting local businesses and artisans.

    5. Cheer on Local Sports
    Fall in Missouri means football season. Bundle up and catch a high school football game under the Friday night lights or head into Kansas City for a weekend of college or professional sports. There’s nothing like the energy of a fall crowd.

    6. Go on a Scenic Drive
    Take a weekend drive along Highway 45 or through the countryside surrounding Platte City and Weston. The rolling hills and colorful trees make for a relaxing afternoon. Stop at a roadside market for fresh produce, baked goods, or local honey.

    7. Enjoy a Cozy Day Close to Home
    If you’d rather stay in, embrace the cozy side of fall. Visit a local coffee shop for a seasonal latte, decorate your porch with pumpkins, or host a bonfire night with friends and neighbors.

    From apple picking and fall festivals to hiking trails and cozy evenings, Platte County offers something for everyone to enjoy this season. However you choose to celebrate, take time to slow down and soak in the beauty of fall in Missouri.

    Property Pulse: Market Update
    The real estate market’s pretty balanced right now. There’s about 2.76 months of inventory, which means homes are selling fast, and there aren’t a ton of options out there, so buyers are facing some competition. Interestingly, inventory’s gone up by 31.43% over the past year. That could mean more choices for buyers soon, but sellers might have to price their homes smartly to stand out. Houses are selling quickly—most are off the market in about 37 days. They’re also going for about 99.3% of the asking price, so buyers are willing to pay pretty close to what sellers are asking. The median sold price is holding steady at $355,000 ??, which is good news for sellers.
    Overall, it’s a solid market for both buyers and sellers. Buyers need to move quickly, and sellers should price competitively to stay ahead. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, now’s a good time to make a move!

    Remembering Bill Grigsby
    Bill Grigsby - The Prince of Parkville - may be returning to its downtown location to oversee such things and events as community festivals and parades. A commemorative statue of Bill was originally dedicated in 2007 at The National Golf Club where he was a regular. It has since been removed and placed in storage. A group of citizens led by the owner of Stone Canyon Pizza, Kevin Heaton, is putting forth an effort to move the statue to Pocket Park in downtown Parkville.

    When, and if, the statue is placed in Pocket Park it will become the property of the city. But the citizen group will be responsible for the cost of moving, restoring, installing and maintaining the statue for several years after it is installed. And, Pocket Park is currently paved with bricks, purchased by donors, with inscriptions and some of those bricks or a bench would likely have to be moved to allow the status to be installed.

    Bill was a regular host and emcee for the annual 4th of July parade in addition to hosting the Parkville Days River Fest Parade, Parkville Jazz Fest, and the Blue Grass Block Party. He was one of the original founders of Parkville's Christmas on the River. The main baseball field in English Landing Park is named Grigsby Field in his honor. He passed away in 2011 from complications associated with prostrate cancer.

    Approval for a residential development of single family homes in Platte City is in place. Windmill Creek would be located on about 80 acres south of Highway 92 between I-29 and Bethel Road. The estimated average selling price for these homes is $225,000 with about 30 to 50 houses being built over the next 5+ years.
