Time To Get Spooky

By Lexi Paczosa-Hall

With October comes a series of related events and activities. Autumn can be a rather romantic time with your significant other, but there are many events that anyone can enjoy. Grab your sweaters and stomp on the leaves cause it’s about to get pumpkin-y.

• Go to a pumpkin patch (obviously)! Here are a few to go to in Nebraska:

• Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Gretna

• Roca Berry Farm in Roca

• Skinny Bones Pumpkin Patch in Blair (They even have a dog day!)

• Country Harvest Pumpkin Patch in Glenvil

• See here for many more and a map.

• While you’re at the pumpkin patch, pick out a pumpkin and carve it. Check out Pinterest for designs.

• Have a scary movie marathon. If you’re not a big fan of horror, watch movies like Hocus Pocus, Halloween Town, or Frankenweenie. My personal favorites are Tim Burton movies.
