Sterling Ranch debuts its new Wednesday Farmers Market, Friday brings an elegant grown-up storybook gala at the Mansion, and Saturday is double Oktoberfest with two separate celebrations plus a 5K, before Sunday wraps things up with an evening among the stacks. Round up the family, there's plenty to see.
