2014 Fall Festivals, Pumpkin Farms, Hayrides & Halloween Venues in Will County, IL
This past week's cooler temperatures and falling leaves remind me that Fall ... and the Halloween holiday ... is just around the corner. And pumpkins, corn mazes, haunted houses, scarecrows, spooky ghosts, witches, and goblins of all shapes and sizes are arriving with them.
For those that live in or near Will County, in Illinois ... that means families and friends will be looking to get out and enjoy all this beautiful season has to offer.
So, I put together a list of Pumpkin Farms and Patches, Corn Mazes, Hayrides, Halloween Venues, Fun Fall Festivals and more that can be found within the boundaries of Will County, IL ... along with info, links, and directions for each venue on the list.
I hope my list will help you, your family, and friends find a Fall seasonal event to visit and enjoy near you!
