Fall festival timeWarren County & Cincinnati Area Things to Do October 21-23 2011

Well after two days of rain you're probably looking forward to getting out of the house this weekend! Fortunately the weather forecast is great for the weekend, and there's lots of outdoor activities left to enjoy! Click the links where we have them for more information on the available events!

New events for this weekend only:

Lebanon is hosting the Howl-oween Pooch Parade Saturday afternoon on Mulberry Street.  It's the first year, but sounds like a great time!  Lots of prizes and categories for dog costumes, so swing by and have some laughs!

This is more on the working side, but if you've got old computer gear in need of recycling, Warren County residents can dispose of those old computers and monitors at the Mason Municipal Center between 9 a.m. Lanternand noon Saturday morning.

For another Fall Festival, head up to Waynesville's Hisey Park Saturday for the 6th Annual Hisey Park Fall Festival!  All the usual fall festival activities PLUS a Civil War encampment, a native American encampment, a Care Flight fly-by, and volunteers from the Raptor Center with birds on display!

If you're looking for something scary, head to Morgan's Campground in Morrow for the Forest of Lost Souls and Haunted River!  It's a unique combination you won't find at other scare-fests!  Fridays and Saturday evenings in October!

 And we've still got plenty of recurring events for the fall season, so here are some of the repeat events:

  • Need to put some BOO in your October?  Kings Island's Halloween Haunt is in full scare mode!  Lots of haunted mazes, and a good many of rides are open too!  Buy your tickets online to get the discount.  Go back to the link for more details! And for more Halloween related fun, they've got the Howl-o-Fest from noon-5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through October 31!  This part is more kid friendly, with costume contests, mazes, petting zoos, foam pits, pony rides and Fall Harvestmore!
  • And the Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad is running the Pumpkin Patch Express every weekend in October!  You can even pick & purchase your own pie pumpkin at Schappacher Farm as part of the excursion!

 And for the farm related events:

  • Lebanon's Irons Fruit Farm has a 12 acre corn maze that's now open weekends through the end of October!  Saturday's 11-5, Sundays 12-5.  Ages 4 and under free, 5-12 $4, 13 & up $6.  Located at 1640 Stubbs Mill Rd (turn at the Bob Evans at SR123), they've got fruit, jams & jellies, baked goods and more to offer too! 

If you head down to the Cincinnati Zoo, they're hosting the HallZOOween  noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through October 23rd.  Kids 12 and under can wear costumes and trick-or-treat at the zoo!  And they'll have some special activities like pumpkin carving demonstrations, a magic show and special animal encounters! 

So we think there's enough here to find something fun for everyone in the family!  We hope you have a fantastic fall weekend!

Bliz, those pictures of the Pooch Parade really looked like fun.  Wish we had something like that here.

I love this time of year when the weather is cooler and all of these fun activities are there to choose from.  Love the Pooch Parade idea.  How cute is that?

Ron, The Pooch activities seem to be spreading.  There are at least 3-4 similar events during the year that we know of.

Paula, It's certainly cooler here, threatening our first frost soon.  Still time to finish getting the flowers planted and the bulbs in the ground.  We've got a pre-listing appointment Saturday afternoon, so we won't make the Pooch Parade this time.

Bill,

That is a great summary of things to do in Warren County for Halloween. I can't remember going to Cedar Point on Halloween weekend as a kid- pretty smart of Kings Island to come up with some great offerings.

Scott, Kings Island has probably the widest variety of mazes and scare themed activities for the adults at night, and a ton of activities (not scary) for the kids during daylight.  It's good for business.

Michael, We're making hay with the events while there's hay to be made :)  It'll be slowing down soon for the outside events, so then we'll have to do more wandering into Cincinnati for the museums and such.

Wow, what a diverse collection of things to do, from pooch parades to compute equipment recycling. AR is the BEST source of goings-on around the country and you play a big role is bringing the community activities and events to the world. Great job. So can we expect a vid or some pics of those costumed pooches?

Michelle,  Saw a similar event on the other side of the Ohio River in Kentucky also scheduled for this weekend.  Dogs in costumes are pretty popular :)

Jeff, Unfortunately I think we're going to be playing in our own yard during the pooch parade.  We've got flowers and bulbs to get in the ground before the weather stops being cooperative.  Possible frost soon.

Ellen, Likely in the yard most of today planting the last of our perennials and starting to get another batch of bulbs in the ground.  I don't know where Liz plans to put them after putting 1000 (no kidding) in the ground last fall.
