Ghoulish fun colors the fall season in the valley ....
From Steve and Sally Swenson's fifth annual Pumpkin Fest held Oct. 1, to the Corn Maize at Sherman Farm, Cranmore's Ghoullog, the 13th annual Fall Festival at Settlers' Green Oct. 3, Black Mountain's Family Foliage Fest Oct. 3, the Fryeburg Fair Oct. 4 through 11, and the Return of the Pumpkin People in Jackson through Oct. 24, there's no shortage of scary (and entertaining) events this glorious fall season in the once again colorful valley of the original Big George W.
