As the weather cools down, you'll no longer find a packed Drillfield with Enos and sunbathers. Blacksburg is a small town so it may sometimes be difficult to find fun things to do around town once the weather gets to be a bit chilly.
So, here are 14 activities to do even when the air starts to get a bit crisper.
Go to the grocery store and buy ingredients to actually bake
You could even go basic and get the ghost or pumpkin break apart sugar cookies.
Stay in with Netflix and some warm apple cider
You could even watch a fall themed movie such as Halloween Town or Hocus Pocus to make sure that you get into the spooky season.
Go to Sinkland Farms
This is perfect for getting that perfect pumpkin to carve.
