Have Fun at These 8 Events the Final Weekend of September in the Magic Valley

It seems like the months are flying by, and to many September just began, but this will be the final weekend of the month. The good news is that it means the holidays are just around the corner, and it also means plenty of fall events are on the calendar each weekend. While this weekend will be a tad warmer than most are used to for this time of year, that isn't a bad thing as it makes getting outdoors easier. This weekend there will be plenty of fall events happening around the Magic Valley to get out and have some fun. Here are some events you may want to check out.

Friday, September 27 and Saturday, September 28 - Tubbs Berry Farm

With fall having officially started, it means that fall attractions are back. One of the best in the Magic Valley is Tubbs Berry Farm, where there is fun for the whole family.
