There are plenty of ways that you can gear up for the Halloween season here in West Virginia. Some people will kick off the season by shopping around for their costume while others will begin to stock up on all their favorite candy, but if you’re looking for something that truly screams Halloween, then look no further. During this time of year, you can’t miss out on taking a trip to Kenova’s Pumpkin House.
A family tradition for many of us here in West Virginia, Kenova’s Pumpkin House is the ultimate Halloween sight to be seen.
