Looking for some fall family fun? Here is my 2017 roundup of pumpkin patch farms in the Kansas City area.

Every year on Halloween, the Brookside neighborhood shops in Kansas City offer goodies for trick or treaters. It’s a great event, with the stores all coordinating to put on a fun and safe Halloween experience. Here’s a roundup of some public trick-or-treating events of note in the area.

One of my favorite places, the Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center, will host a native plant sale and Monarch butterfly educational event this Saturday, September 16, from 9:30-2pm. There will be native perennials, wildflowers, trees, and grasses for sale, along with giveaways, and hands-on activities for the whole family. Learn more about the event and why I love the Discovery Center.
