Goblins, ghosts, mummies, ghouls and pumpkins are starting to roam the streets as Halloween grows near.  Fun family events abound, and there is always an excuse to get dressed up.

If you are looking for a fun and an authentic pumpkin patch experience on a farm, pack up the kids and drive up north to Lil’ Megs Pumpkin Patch in Beckwourth CA.  This charming property is just past Sierraville and perfect for the entire family.  Featuring a corn maze, amazing fresh home baked goods, games and pumpkins of all sizes, it’s the perfect place to spend a Saturday afternoon.  The drive should be beautiful and full of fall colors, you will not be disappointed.  Open every Saturday in October 10am – 4pm.
