Traditionally, this time of year, people take their kids to farms (or lots if there are no local farms) to pick pumpkins. Depending on where you go, there are sometimes mazes made out of corn stalks, "hay rides" where they take you out to the field where the pumpkins are in a trailer filled with hay and attached to a tractor, haunted houses and more.
Then you take the pumpkins home and carve faces or images into them for Halloween!
