This year I decided to check out something different for Halloween Weekend…and I am sure glad that I did! I attended an AMAZING event called ‘The Great Pumpkin Blaze’!

Looking for something fun and new to try? I would recommend trying out a cooking class at Sur La Table! I did it for the first time this past weekend and it was both fun and informative.
