Published at | Updated at
October isn’t over, and that means you can still visit places for some fall, family, fun before Halloween and the eventual snow in November.
EastIdahoNews.com reporters Rett Nelson, and Natalia Hepworth wanted to separate the pumpkin patches from the corn mazes and took a small excursion into east Idaho’s backyard.
Here are some non-haunted attractions for your pre-Halloween amusement.
