PART 2: Guide to a Spooktacular October
October can be thrilling with Halloween approaching. There are playful decorations, choosing a costume, party planning, pumpkin carving, the tricks, and the treats. Find inspiration for a killer Haunted House, costume and Jack-o’-Lantern by checking out the local Halloween events in the area. Gather up all your little pumpkins (kids), witches (friends) and goblins (significant other) to begin new traditions.
When I was young we would travel to my grandparents and visit the “Iron Kettle Farm”. It became a tradition visiting the farm, carving pumpkins and playing Halloween Party games with my family. The farm had a hayride, a not so haunted “Haunted House”, petting zoo, and the stroll of Scarecrow characters (a.k.a. hay stuffed clothing with painted pumpkin heads) …. pretty impressive to a 5-year-old. The Pumpkin Farm of today has evolved into a Fall lovers paradise with more attractions and activities.
Fall on the Farm has become a one-stop shop. You can find haunted hayrides, jumping pillows, pumpkin cannons, zip-lines, games, rides, an “amazing maize maze” designed with a puzzle challenge, crafts, and tasty treats. But don’t stop there, take in the BOO-tiful fall scenery by visiting a new festival or event that will stimulate the thrills and chills of Halloween.
