Halloween is just around the corner and neighborhoods throughout the Tri-Cities are beginning to look a little spookier with each passing day. You’ve likely noticed jack-o’-lanterns and skeleton decorations popping up on the porches of neighbors’ houses as early as the beginning of last month. This month, we thought we’d take a look at the various resources and activities available around Halloween. The Tri-Cities has always been a family-friendly area and this fact translates well for the scariest holiday of the year. The streets are safe for trick-or-treaters to wander from house to house on October 31st, scoring treasure troves of delicious candies from the warm and welcoming communities present here.
Middleton Fall Festival
As we covered last month (and last year), the Middleton Fall Festival is a fantastic option for family entertainment around the ‘spooktacular’ holiday. Featuring corn mazes, a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo, and so many more activities, there is perhaps no better place for people of all ages to enjoy during this time of year. With private campfires and food and drink available on site, the Middletons yet again outdo themselves and provide the community with a wide variety of entertainment options. If you haven’t read our article highlighting the event in greater detail, be sure to read up on it here.
