The beginning of September marks the end of warm, care-free summer days and the start of busy school schedules. Luckily, fall comes with its own supply of family-fun. Growing up in Holland, we always went to MacQueen Orchards for apples and fall treats. We also used to love the Toledo Zoo’s Halloween events—activities I hope my daughter will enjoy soon.
It’s time to start thinking about costumes and make a plan for what trick-or-treats, corn mazes and pumpkin patches your family is going to visit this year. There are so many fun events and activities during this time of year for families. Our Halloween Haunts and Happenings Guide in this issue rounds up the Toledo area’s family-friendly events for fall fun.
As the school year kicks off, families can also explore a variety of educational options throughout the region. From public and private schools and other options, the Toledo area offers something for every student. Check out our Education Guide for a closer look at the resources available in our community.
