State college is north of me but we usually have good leaves the 1st thru the 3rd week of October.
But as they say it depends on the weather!
my son will be 17 on oct 6th.
he was born 16 weeks early and the leaves had just started to change when I wen to the hospital on the 4th on the 7th they looked great on the 8th we had a thunderstorm and all the leaves fell! so much for fall! LOL
there are several quilt ships up that way.
try googling the state college chamber of commerce
it will have them listed
