Ahh... October! There’s a crispness in the air like no other month, and there’s an abundance of family activities: corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and of course, trick- and trunk-or-treating. There are SO many, in fact, that we can’t list them all here. So, check out our fall festivals and trunk-or-treat guide online at SpringfieldKids.com. And, bookmark the website if you have a smartphone so you have the guide on the go!

Thank you for making Kids Directory your family’s go-to resource! ~Melinda Arnold, parent and publisher​
