The House of Pearson (home of the Nut Goodie and Salted Nut Roll) offers an open house for kids.

There's a bit of Willy Wonka in all of us so head on over to Pearson Candy Co. (2140 W. 7th St., St. Paul) for an early trick-or-treating at the House of Pearson (with or without costumes).
From 5 to 8 p.m. tonight (Oct. 28), there will be candy bars, carnival games and photos, as well as a chance to win the ultimate door prize: a VIP tour of the candy factory.
There also will be bite-size Halloween candy to buy for your own Oct. 31 event, with part of the proceeds from sales going to the Ronald McDonald House (with funds matched by Pearson).
The 23rd installment of the beer fest will take place Oct. 12 at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis.
