Pumpkin patches are “cropping” up everywhere. Do you know what that means? Pumpkin seeds, eating, carving, baking, spice, and most importantly, pie! Most of these are tasty, but pumpkin carving is where the fun is. Pumpkin carving is always a blast and there are tons of creative ideas out there to give you some inspiration.

Another fun and interesting activity that is unique to Salem is Black Cat Tours.
