Halloween is just around the corner and if you've got kids, I know you are trying to find something fun where they can wear their costume but don't want it to be too scary either.  I found 2 very family-friendly events that would be perfect!  One is in Byron, Minnesota and the second is in a "haunted" forest in Rochester, Minnesota.
