About this Article

A healthy crowd was on hand during the annual Danada Fall Festival Sunday, despite some less-than-ideal weather. The festival at the Danada Equestrian Center in Wheaton, included horse-drawn hayrides, pumpkin and face painting. “Nicer weather would have been great, but we’re still having a fun time,” said Naperville resident Tina McCarty, who brought her 7-year-old son, Billy.
