Where do the costumes go on Saturday?
Great Country Farms costume parade, Harvest Party at Cornerstone Chapel or Hot Dog! It's Halloween!, side by side.

Wood-fired, the Neapolitan way
Kids' menu
World of Pizzas Bar & Grill
This isn't regular pizza. It's wood-fired, with a global entry passport.
The owner is a true foodie, and it shows. Trust us. It starts with fresh ingredients, imported from around the world, Italian flour and tomatoes among them, and a crust that comes out of the wood fire blistered, Neapolitan-style. Then the menu travels: Baja Chipotle, Tikka Masala, or a Classic Margherita if you're staying close to home. And it's built for families: a kids' menu, outdoor seating, live music, and a bar for the grown-ups.
Our tip
Get the Family Feast for the table (two large pizzas, garlic knots and a salad), then add one world pie for the grown-ups to pass around.
This Friday, 30 Oct · Live music, 7 to 9pm
The JJ Warren Band brings country, blues and southern rock to the patio crowd, including songs of their own. It's a local band, it wraps up by 9, and it's early enough to bring the kids. Get there by 6:30 to grab a table and have the pizza ordered before the first song.
