THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Kyle.

Editor’s pick: As much as I want to indulge in fright nights + haunted houses, I’ll admit I just can’t bring myself to do it. Not-so-spooky corn mazes, like that of Denver Downs Farm (1515 Denver Rd., Anderson), are more my speed. Learn more about its fall festival + get tickets.
