Autumn is a beautiful time of the year for many reasons. The weather is temperate and the holidays are right around the corner. It’s a great time to relax and have fun outdoors. Now that autumn is here, there are so many different activities to do instead of sitting on the couch all day watching television.
Halloween hayrides will soon be opening at Knoch Knolls Park in Naperville.
They will be open on October 22, 23 and the 29th. This is a great way to get out and show off your Halloween costume and roast s’mores over a bonfire.
