Treats & Games
Don’t forget to take advantage of the fall treats and games at your local pumpkin patch. Many of these local farms also have small stands or shops for you to buy delicious fall treats. They also have other fall games set up, such as corn hole, bean bag toss, and more.
Pumpkin Picking!
