1. Jessica Noll, co-host
Picking pumpkins is Jessica's top pick! Last year, she and her girls had a delightful visit to Richlands Dairy Farm in Blackstone. Richlands recently posted an update on the farm’s fall activities. They will be offering hayrides Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starting October 2 through November 1. The corn maize will be open by donation only and pre-picked pumpkins are available at the creamery. Because of COVID-19, there will be no farm tours or petting zoo this year.

4. Evanne Armour, associate producer
Halloween on Hanover is Evanne's favorite fall tradition. For years, Hanover Avenue in Richmond's Fan District has been one of the city's most popular spots for Halloween fun. Neighbors deck out their homes in spooky decorations for thousands to enjoy. However, this year, The Fan District Association says the 1900-block of Hanover will not be closed for cars this year on Halloween due to COVID-19. The residents of this block have recommended no decorations, according to FDA.

Is it really fall until you make a trip to Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville? Nothing beats the fresh apple cider donuts and gorgeous view. This year, they're offering two ways to safely visit the orchard in-person -- by taking a scenic tour to stock up on ready-picked apples and other fall favorites without leaving the car OR through ticketed entry.
