| Pumpkin carving is one tradition that comes with the new season. |
Many people cringe at the thought of summer coming to a close and days becoming shorter, but fun fall festivities are lurking just around the corner. This season, the Triangle area offers various activities that are sure to please people of all ages.
North Carolina’s vast farmlands serve as prime landscapes for annual corn mazes. From September 15 to Halloween night, the trails of the Green Acres Corn Maze in Cary are open for adventure. Green Acres charges $10 per person and is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Many regard pumpkin carving as the most popular Halloween tradition. For some, carving is simply a fun way to decorate a front porch. Others take a professional approach, entering contests and creating masterpieces.
This Halloween, instead of purchasing an expensive, generic costume, one may enjoy creating a custom outfit. Materials can easily be salvaged around the house from attics, garages, and closets. Craft stores, such as A.C. Moore and Michaels, offer inexpensive materials to create a costume. With a little imagination and resourcefulness, anyone can create something unique to wear on Halloween night.
Although pools are closing and “roo runs” have come to an end, fall offers different shenanigans for everyone.
