October Events are Here!

By Christina Bell October 8, 2023

Ok! Here's all the events we could find for October! We will add to this list as we find more! 

Please email me so I can create a separate list of local haunted houses and local communities or streets that will offer trick or treating this year on the 31st. I know what it's like driving around on the 31st seeing who is doing the old school trick or treating! mackidfranklinga@macaronikid.com



As always...pace yourself, this is the start of the busy season! Fall Festivals, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas...
