Apple picking is the perfect fall activity! There are many orchards to choose from in the area, but Sweet Berry Farm is a favorite of mine.

Do you have kids? Bristol, RI does an annual Halloween Walkabout every October. Local businesses who opt in hand out kids to kids 12 and younger in costumes. Some merchants also dress up.
