I tend to think of fall as a cozy season. The weather cools down, sweaters come back out, and hot cider, hot cocoa, and caramel apples make appearances at all kinds of autumnal activities. It is a time of togetherness and creativity.

Halloween is one of those great fall traditions for families all over the Sioux Empire, and parents search for the best ways to let their kids experience it.

One of those awesome events where kids can trick-or-treat in a warm, safe environment is the Empire Mall's Mall-O-Ween event. Mall-O-Ween is going on Wednesday, October 29, from 4 to 6 PM.

Everybody will start out in the Center Court and make the loop around to various participating stores and restaurants for trick-or-treating. Kids should remember to bring a bag for all the goodies. There will be plenty of candy and plenty of fun activities in the Center Court, including a photo booth where you can take a spooky picture.

This is the perfect opportunity for a fun family outing. One that can help you build some special memories with your kids. Everyone is encouraged to wear their costumes and show them off, and that includes parents. Because why should the kids have all the fun?

Looks Like A Cartoon Halloween At Costco!

It's almost Halloween, and it looks like Costco is banking on beloved animated characters to help transform your haunted home.

Apparently, gone are the days when Halloween meant only spine-chilling skeletons and terrifying tombstones.

This year, Costco's Halloween section reads more like a Disney catalog than a horror movie set!

Check out these "not so scary" cartoon-inspired Halloween decorations at Costco:
