Katie’s favs:
My favorite fall tradition is to go to Schnepf Farms for their pumpkin patch. This is a great tradition for everyone in the family to enjoy. They have a variety of activities such as a 4-acre corn maze, mini golf, petting zoo, amusement rides, face painting, pig races & SO much more! If you are looking for a fall activity for everyone to enjoy!
Taking a quick trip up North is the most magical in the fall time! The leaves are changing colors and the morning air is crisp! Learn More about what you can do in Munds Park:

Amusement rides, rodeos, livestock barn, concerts and all the fun carnival rides you can imagine! The state fair will run until October 30th. To learn more about the activities or to get your ticket, click
