Fall is a wonderful time to get out and enjoy activities throughout the community. There is a blog, MacaroniKid that gives information about events for specific towns. . Here are a few that would be great for families of young children.

Visit a pumpkin patch
Aldersgate patch is open from 10am – dark. The proceeds from the patch support youth mission projects. Your child will have chances during the day to check out the patch with their class. It would be a fun time to stop and pick a pumpkin and then play on the playground. Just a quick reminder – we ask you to close the sandboxes and keep toys on the playground you find them.
Here is a place to find out more about the area pumpkin patches. (click on the picture to take you to the online post)
