As we cruise into fall, take some time to enjoy the fruits of the season. Take a scenic trip to a farm such as Gallrein Farms, Huber Family Farm, or Farm Life to select the perfect pumpkin or pick some crisp apples. This weekend, you can also come face to face with dinosaurs, take in a movie on Slugger Field, head bang to some heavy metal music, and more.

Check out some weekend selections below:
