Without a doubt October is my favorite month of the year! I have been a Halloween fanatic for years, but it's not just because of Halloween. October brings with it a true feeling of Autumn (which is hard to find in our Oklahoma heat). October also brings with it a plethora of programming possibilities. We have events in each and every category for this month, and there's a Holiday Hoopla on nearly every day of the month.
