THINGS TO DO

Most of the activities at this time of year are related to Halloween which is on Oct. 31. If you are from another country and have never witnessed the extraordinary spectacle of people walking around dressed up in ghoulish and outlandish costumes,  this is your opportunity to do some trick and treating of your own. At the very least, go get a scare at some of the area's well-known haunted barns and fields. Watch this space for updates providing information on these as it becomes available.
