The weather is far too nice to stay inside this weekend. Instead of sitting on your couch watching football, get up, head out of the house, and go to an autumn festival, take your children to Kiddie Day at the Haunted Swamp, do some seasonal local shopping, get lost in a corn maze, get lost in a hay maze, enjoy everything going on at Tubbs Berry Farm, take in a musical, or experience what it is like to be a wizard. Whatever you decide to do, have fun, be safe, and enjoy your weekend.
