✅ Tips for the Weekend
- Check registration: Some events (like Smolak Farms) may require tickets or timed entry.
- Dress warmly: Many are outdoors and during the cooler fall evenings.
- Plan for age-appropriate fun: While some events are suitable for younger kids, others (corn maze, costume contests) may be better for older kids/teens.
- Go early: Arriving earlier often means better parking, viewing, and less wait.
