After a quick stop at Folklore Coffee to learn about limited edition seasonal drinks that folks are lining up for every Saturday, we head to Jack O'Lantern World at The Forge Lemont Quarries. Learn how thousands of fresh jack o'lanterns are created weekly for an enormous show that changes from week to week. Get a look at some incredible artwork and what is available to children and adults of all ages.
