Family-friendly and (mostly) free fun

Halloween is just around the corner, and we’ve put together a brief list of Halloween activities to keep your ghosts and goblins safe and happy this weekend. I am sure there are local events that are not on this list. I tried to keep it to family-friend and free or low cost events.  If the price is not shown, then I couldn’t find price info. For more ideas on things to do this fall, check out Michelle Teeter’s Family Fun Fall Round-up.
