Here's the Beaver Valley Macaroni Kid Fall Events and Halloween Haunts guide for September 2013. (Next week I'll include October events too, so if you don't see an event listed, that's probably why.) Feel free to leave a comment at the end or send me an email at danah@macaronikid.com if you know of something that's going on in Beaver County (in September) that I should include.
