Halloween is right around the corner and people are just finishing up on fall activities like going to corn mazes, apple picking, going on hayrides, and going to fall festivals, as people are getting ready for some Halloween activities like pumpkin carving, haunted houses, and more!
In my opinion, Halloween is one of the best holidays because of all of the things you can do for the fall and Halloween seasons. Some fun fall activities include going to corn mazes, apple picking, hayrides, fall festivals, pumpkin picking, baking/cooking, planting a fall garden, enjoying the fall weather, and more. Fun Halloween activities include pumpkin carving, going to haunted houses, picking or making a costume, watching scary movies, and more.
When asked what her favorite Halloween or fall activity to do is, Sophomore Ali Parise comments, “My favorite fall activity would probably be going to white house fruit farms. At White House, there is so much to do. My favorite things to do at White House are dressing up and taking pictures, getting pumpkins to carve later, and I love always getting some of their doughnuts.”
One of the most popular fall activities around us is going to fall festivals like White House Fruit Farms in Canfield, OH. White House has things like horse riding, pumpkin picking, fudge, cider slushies, their infamous donuts, Halloween home goods/decorations, a bird cage, and a grocery store with some seasonal foods and snacks. Going to White House with friends and family is always a good time because there’s always something to do when you’re there.
Another fun thing to do in the fall is cooking/baking. Baking is really fun, but especially in the fall because you can make Halloween/fall flavors, and decorate them with Halloween decorations like sprinkles or frosting. Some popular fall foods people tend to make include pumpkin/apple pies, pumpkin cookies, or cupcakes, maple cookies, snickerdoodle cookies, and much more.
When asked what her favorite Halloween/fall food is, Junior Lacy Gavitt comments, “My favorite food to eat during Halloween would have to be my grandma’s homemade pumpkin pie that she makes every Halloween. Eating it gets me so excited for the Halloween season. I always look forward to the fall so I can eat my grandma’s pumpkin pie every year.
A fun Halloween activity to do is going to haunted houses. All over the world, there are so many haunted houses that people visit for fun during the Halloween season. In our area, the main haunted houses include Fear Forest and the Canfield Scare Grounds. Fear Forest is in Lordstown, OH. Fear Forest is divided into 4 attractions, the haunted hayride, and haunted house, the psycho path, and the forbidden corn maze. Each attraction has its own twists to them with fun scares around every corner.
With Halloween approaching very quickly, people are now in search of their Halloween costumes, going to stores like Spirit Halloween to get ready for either trick-or-treating or fun Halloween parties. One of the best things about Halloween is being able to dress up as whatever you want, whether it is a character from a show or movie, or an occupation.
When asked what her favorite haunted house to go to is, Sophomore Sadie Sample comments, “During the fall, my favorite haunted house to go to would have to be Fear Forest. I love the forest because there is so much to do there, with there being 4 haunted attractions, and I always have fun going with my friends. My favorite part of Fear Forest would have to be the haunted hayride. I love how the actors actually get on the bus with you and try to scare you and how you never know where the actors are.”
