GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — On what's expected to be a picture-perfect fall weekend weather-wise, there's no shortage of things to do to kick off spooky season.
Cottage Grove Halloween display
You can start with a fang-tastic Halloween display at a home in Cottage Grove, offering a fright from 6 to 8:30 every night in October — and all for a good cause.
The display is located at 9489 69th St. S., Cottage Grove, 55016.
The home's owner, Ryan Scott says all guests who visit will have the opportunity to scan a QR code on-site, donating directly to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
If you can't make it to Cottage Grove, Ryan has set up an account through St. Jude's where donations can be made.
Watertown's LuceLine Orchard
Now, if scary tricks aren't your thing, how 'bout a sweet treat out in Watertown at the LuceLine Orchard where there's something for everyone?
Get lost in a corn maze or pick your way through rows of Honeycrisp and Sweet Tango apples, just to name a few.

Sever's Festivals in Shakopee

Fall colors
With much of the state at or nearing peak fall foliage, don't miss the opportunity to take a trip to a state park, like Interstate State Park in Taylors Falls, where the colors will have you falling for picture-perfect moments all season long!
Happy fall, y'all!
