'Tis the season to sit on bales of hay, pick and carve pumpkins, chug as much apple cider as I can get my hands on and attempt to find my way out of a bunch of corn. There are so many places that offer such festivities that it's hard to know where to get the best deal. So I thought I would share some info to help you decide. Here is a list of places offering fall festivities, complete with addressses, activity lists and prices. Keep in mind that the cheapest one may not be the closest. The drive could cost you the extra dollar you might save on entrance fees. So choose wisely my friends.
