Between now and October 31st, families everywhere will seek out the perfect pumpkin, scoop its guts and carve it, light it, enjoy it, and then watch it decompose (my favorite part). Since you don't want to miss out on that tradition, Macaroni Kid has compiled a list of local pumpkin-picking-places! (Say that three times fast!)
So charge up that camera, grab the rubber boots, and get ready for some great pumpkin pickin'!
