I updated some websites that have changed, added some new events and took out some event that did not make a return this year. It’s a good idea to call before going to any apple orchard and some pumpkin patches just to double check and make sure they are open. If you know of any event, pumpkin patch, festival or anything else please let me know so I can add it to my list.

*Please make sure you double check on the dates, times and prices before heading out to any activity!!
