Jim's Pumpkin Farm offers lots of cheap autumn fun
Set amid fields of soy beans, stands of corn and cornfields already cut, Jim's is a charming little farm -- complete with a babbling brook. We spent just under $15 for two hours or so of fun with two adults and two kids. We took home two big pumpkins, an acorn squash to make with supper, three ears of Indian corn and a tiny pumpkin, too.

It's pigs aplenty at Jerry's Old Town Inn
Pigs aplenty! Pigs galore! There's more pork per seat than any other restaurant in the nation. No, not on the customers, but the ribs. Forty tons, that's right, 40 tons of slow-cooked baby back ribs fly out of the bustling Germantown restaurant each year, and Jerry's takes a back seat to no one when it comes to selling platters full of barbecue ribs.
