TMI - Family Farms

(~*~)

Hello,

   As we start into October, those of us that love this holiday are feeling the Halloween tingles (eagerness sprouts)! I am no stranger to this; as my research has already begun for this year's events, I look forward to having lots of fun with family and friends (eagerness grows). As I attempt to answer the "5 Ws"  - How, what, when, where, and... well you already know that answer. This is my 'Family Farms Fun Findings (F4 - as in quadruple)' so far.:

PUMPKIN PICKING, CORN/ STRAW MAZES, HAUNTED TOURS, & MORE!
