October is one of my favorite times of the year. After picking bags full of apples in September, our home smells of warm apple pie and strudel with a touch of cinnamon, as we get ready for the leaves to start changing, daylights saving time to occur and one of my favorite times of the year – HALLOWEEN. This time a year we break out the sweaters, and regardless of age, we get to be a kids again (who’s ready to jump in those leave piles with me). Check out some of the fun in and around the area for the month of October!
