If you want to get in the Halloween spirit, we recommend a trip out to a local pumpkin patch to pick you own pumpkin. A drive through the countryside might be just the third you need—so, make a trip out to the pumpkin fields.

All the patches listed are doing COVID-19 modifications for public safety.
