COhomefinder takes the fear out of buying a home in Colorado

‘Tis the season…

with Halloween just a few days away, and the fall festivities coming up, it’s time to take the kids through that time-honored rite of passage in Colorado.  It’s time to go to the corn maze and pumpkin patch.

Where the Maize Is

You’ll find the corn mazes in communities where there’s–what else?–plenty of room for the Great Pumpkin to roam and the corn to grow tall enough to make things interesting.  Among some of the top runners:

• Brighton, in Adams County
• Thornton, at 104th and Riverdale Rd.
• Henderson, and if you want to really get roomy, Strasburg.

And for those who want to get out, without getting way out there, there’s a slightly more urban garden experience to be had in Littleton, at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.

Boulder, Broomfield, and Longmont feature a handful of “U pick it” farms between them, some with a hayride and petting zoo thrown in. But if you’re looking for something spooky, you’re going to have to make a trip to Colorado Springs‘ Haunted Mines.

Be safe, and pick a winner, kids.
