2013 Fall Festivals and Fun, Pumpkin Farms, Hayrides & Halloween Venues in Will County, IL


2013 Fall Festivals and Fun, Pumpkin Farms, Hayrides & Halloween Venues in Will County, IL

     Falling leaves and cooler nights are both signs that Fall has officially arrived in Will County, IL.  That and my 3 year-old grand-daughter's infatuation with pumpkins, corn mazes, and everything "spookey".
    
     My search for nearby Fall Festivals and pumpkin farms revealed a hefty list of candidates within Will County for weekend visits with our grandbabies.  

     Below you will find the list I compiled of Pumpkin Farms and Patches, Corn Mazes, Hayrides, Halloween Venues, Fun Fall Festivals and more .. along with info, links, directions.  I hope that it will help you find an event to enjoy within Will County too.
