It is hard to believe that it is the end of October. Now that you picked your pumpkin, bought your costume and candy, it is time for some real fun! In addition to the 
corn mazes, haunted houses and haunted places. This is the final weekend of spooktacular events before Halloween on Wednesday. There are countless ways for people of all ages to get ready to celebrate. There is everything from pumpkin catapulting, to trying to break a world record for number of people dancing to "Thriller" and Ghostly Gala. There are events for both children and canines in costume.
You may need a magic eight ball to decide where to go.
