I tried out a virtual Halloween festival – and got more than I bargained for

The Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival, which started as a creative response to lockdown, has evolved into a beloved annual event for families. This year, instead of the usual outdoor pumpkin patch visits, I decided to explore the virtual festival with my kids. It turned out to be a delightful experience, offering a fun and engaging way to celebrate Halloween without the hassle of traditional events. This shift to virtual festivities highlights how innovation can bring joy and connection, especially during challenging times.
