COTTON TRAIL IN SEASON
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the fall, the fields are white with open cotton bolls, the cotton pickers are feeding the module builders and the gins are going full steam. Fall is the best time for seeing cotton harvested and gins in operation. The weather is great, with clear blue skies, warm days and cool nights. It is also traditional time for outdoor BBQ's. Many towns have seasonal events.
