Champaign-Urbana Weekend Planner – Welcome, Fall

September 9, 2020 By From The Editors

sept 13 header WP

With Labor Day weekend behind us, we can throw ourselves into all things apples, pumpkins and FALL

Take your kids to pick out some mums or get lost in a corn maze this weekend – it’s full of family-friendly fun near Champaign-Urbana

There’s no shortage of fun to plunge into when it comes to everything fall around Champaign-Urbana. It may just be one of our absolute favorite times of year!


chambanamoms thanks Champaign Public Library for bringing us this weekend’s planner

Need help with school at home? Your library can help! The Champaign Public Library and Douglass Branch offer amazing resources for families facing remote learning this fall. And they just expanded the E-Library, adding new tools designed especially for Pre-K to Grade 8 students—including printable resources from Scholastic. September is Library Card Signup Month and every Champaign Unit 4 student and teacher can get a card! Don’t miss the new mini storytimes online: First up? Babies Love Books with Miss Katrina and Toddler Tales with Miss Amanda.

Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes, and Apple Picking in Champaign-Urbana

We are located in a place that makes it extra easy to enjoy all that fall has to offer. Even though this is a very different year, there’s still plenty of fall fun to be had in East Central Illinois when it comes to pumpkins, apples and corn mazes. The places listed in our post are all located within roughly an hour’s drive of the Champaign-Urbana area.
