Make classic candy apples (poke apples with cinnamon stick handles and dip into heated candy coating or caramel) or craft classic popcorn ball "skulls" complete with candy corn fangs and malt ball eyes. Don't underestimate how cheap and creative you can get on this spookiest of holidays (for tips, Pinterest cannot be beat) ... It's pumpkin picking time across the region! Get your hands on fresh pumpkins, squash, corn, and other fall veggies at Chesebrough Farm this month.

Plus, who doesn't love a cute photo op (790 Moss Lane, Templeton; for more information go to www.chesebroughfarm.com)?

The Downtown SLO Farmers' Market has already undergone a revamp, but organizers are setting their sights on even bigger changes ahead. A new vision plan includes easing market congestion, free public Wi-Fi, and beer and wine tasting! This gives a whole new meaning to "local flavor" ...
