Fall Activities by Grace Dombrowski
Since the spooky season is upon us, there are many different activities going on. This time of year is perfect to put on a light jacket and go outside for some nice cool weather. Lots of these activities are perfect to do with your family, friends, significant other, or by yourself!
The New Salem Corn Maze is a spooky fun activity. This corn maze goes on every year and it is always a blast. The corn maze is around an hour of activity but the time definitely depends on if you get stuck in it or not. When going through the corn maze there are many different people hiding in the corn ready to get a good scare out of you. However, it isn’t just a regular corn maze. When walking through the maze, you will notice there are tiny little houses that you have to go through to get to the other side. This, in my opinion, is the worst part of the maze. The houses could have people in there trying to scare you or just scary objects trying to get you spooked. After you make it through the maze, there is a cafe where you can get hot cider, coffee, chocolate, cider donuts, and some snacks. Another attraction at New Salem is the haunted forest. This is a little bit more spooky than the maze, so if you are up for the challenge, go for it!
Another fun fall activity that is not so scary is Crane’s in Fennville. Crane’s is a farm where you can go apple picking, pumpkin picking, and more. Crane’s also has a spot inside where you can get some delicious pies and fall treats. If it is a beautiful fall night I would definitely recommend you go to Crane’s and get into the fall spirit.
Another fall activity you can be a part of is the Saugatuck-Douglas Halloween Parade. The parade goes through Saugatuck and Douglas and lots of people dress up in amazing costumes. This parade happens every year the Saturday before Halloween. If you want to have some fun downtown on Halloween night I would recommend checking out the parade!
