Here in San Mateo County, Fall is marked by some hot days and the sun starting to set a bit earlier. It’s the best time of year to get out to our local farms for some pumpkin patch picking, hit up local carnivals and even sneak in some trick-or-treating, if candy is your thing.
Here is our guide for must-see, shouldn’t-miss, check-it-out activities this month!
