Most fall festivals in my neck of the woods in WV are actually in September - my personal favorite is Volcano Days this weekend celebrating the Oil and Gas history of the region.
but there is an October one:
October 14-16 Parkersburg, WV
Blennerhassett Island is where Aaron Burr & Harman Blennerhassett plotted against the newborn United States. The island is a reenactors dream and the mansion is rarely open at night, but for two days there is a sternwheeler ride to the island, a harvest dinner, horse drawn carriage rides,1800's dancing, and a candlelight tour of the Blennerhassett mansion. Nearby Mountwood Park campground is a place to stay as is Leith Run campground in New Matamoras, Ohio.

Most October activities are Halloween or leaf peeping related. I highly recommend Summerville Lake Resort for both.
