Over all I would say it is worth a watch.

What a perfect time to spend a Sunday cruising around beautiful Madison county! I hope we see you there!

Take a drive with friends around Madison County to see small local businesses in their rural setting. There are a few stops along the crawl that have normal business hours where you can grab a glass of coffee, wine, cider, beer, or a bite to eat. The fall crawl is a free event for the entire family,...
