OH! So Much to Do This October in Northeast Ohio #happyincle

October is upon us and thank heavens for pumpkin spiced lattes because there is so much to do!  I haunted the world wide web to bring all the things that the kids and I would do if we had unlimited time and money.

Some are free, most are not, but all are guaranteed* to be good fun.  Don't forget to check out the calendar at the bottom!

* I do not really guarantee anything and do call before going

Top Picks for October

2013 Goblins In The Garden @ The Holden Arboretum

Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6, 10 am - 4 pm

My absolute favorite thing to do in the fall! I adore this place and we are counting down the days to go to this fantastic event. I made the mistake of taking the kids sans costume our first year and will never live it down!

Kids go from station to station getting treats and each station is a fantastic photo opp so don't leave the camera (or phone) in the car. And, for the Browns fans - no game that weekend! No excuses not to enjoy a Sunday in the great outdoors!

Haunted Patch Special Excursions and Pumpkin Patch at Lodi Station Outlets

Saturdays (12 pm - 6 pm) and Sundays (12 pm - 5 pm) in October

Ride the train through Lodi Outlet mall to the pumpkin patch and pick your pumpkin! Love it!

The Annual Harvest Festival Weekend, presented by Giant Eagle at Hale Farm and Village

October 12 10 AM - 5 PM

I know that Hale Farm is stunning in the spring so I can only imagine how gorgeous it will be in the fall with leaves changing. Throw in apple butter, jumping in piles of hay and pressing your own apple cider and I really can't wait. It reminds me of my youth on a farm... oh wait that would be Laura Ingalls.

Lakewood’s Spooky Pooch Parade

Saturday October 19th, 2013 12:30-3:30

Dogs in costume - enough said.

And for the Halloween crowd looking for family friendly events...

(pins will take you to the event)

And, there is more...! (feel free to share)
