The End-of-October Bucket List
The trees are beginning to turn all the beautiful shades of red, showing us that fall is here. This season serves as a reminder that it will be cold soon, and we should enjoy our time outside as much as we can before winter comes.
In the small town of Ames, there are several activities to fill up the rest of your October bucket list. For example, iLuminate, named the “Best New Act in America” by America’s Got Talent in 2011, offers a whimsical experience involving an elaborate light performance in the darkness.

The show will feature many different genres of music, including hits from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Alternatively, you can take a cozy fall ride on a 131-year-old train, the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad, which is offering a trip to the pumpkin patch.
