Historic Hudson Valley Fall Events Start Oct 5th!
I have said it before I will say it again. NAY! I will shout it upon rooftops if I have to. (OK kind of dramatic) But Historic Hudson Valley IS the place to spend the Halloween Season! This year they are bringing back all our favorite seasonal attractions, and if you could believe it, they have even improved upon the already amazing. The Season starts on Saturday, Oct. 5, and you will want to make sure you get your tickets early because they DO sell out.
My FAVORITE attraction is now running until Nov. 11. The Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze® is the Hudson Valley’s biggest all-ages Halloween extravaganza. A small team of artists comes together to carve more than 5,000 jacks, many fused together in elaborate constructions such as life-size dinosaurs and eight-foot-tall working jack-o’lanterns-in-the-box, all lit up throughout the wooded walkways, orchards, and gardens of historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. Also making its debut at this year’s Blaze is the Museum of Pumpkin Art, the first ever exhibition space devoted to sculptural works inspired by (but not made from) pumpkins. Go on and read our review of this event (just scroll down) We LOVE it and have been going for the last three years. We will be SURE to here there this year as well!

I have heard such great things about this attraction, but must admit that I am a HUGE whimp when it comes to these things. But my friends are definitly going to hit it up and I will have a review via them to post
