Hippo front page Apple season

September is prime apple picking season in southern New Hampshire, kicking off a harvest season for most local orchards that runs right through the month and into October. Find out where you can go to pick your own apples at local orchards and farms, and discover other quintessential fall activities, like corn mazes, hay rides, pumpkin picking and more.

Also on the cover Katelyn Sahagian brings you all of the details of the annual Granite State Comic Con, returning for a 20th year this weekend (page 17). Discover authentic cuisine and more at the annual Egyptian Food Festival in Nashua (page 26). Glendi, a more than 40-year tradition at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Manchester, returns with three days of homemade Greek entrees, pastries and more (page 25).
