Halloween Fun!

Still looking for something new and different to do this Halloween? With the weekend coming and Halloween on a Tuesday, I feel like we have a fun excuse to make plans for the weekend AND for Halloween. Of course, with little ones, we’ll be Trick-or-Treating on Tuesday night, however, a fun date night may be in order for Saturday night! If you’re like me and looking to make some plans, here are some fun ideas I came up with. Maybe we’ll see y’all around town!

  1. Date Night – Adults-only and super scary – The Sleepy Hollow Experience

This spooky production takes place at night at the Serenbe Stables as attendees follow the action. There’s even a real headless horseman. Yikes! I’ve got goosebumps already! The production will be going on through November 5th but sells out so make plans as soon as possible. Get more info and tickets at www.serenbeplayhouse.com.

  1. Date Night – Fun with lots of laughs – The Rocky Horror Show

This live performance is frighteningly funny and great for lots of singing, laughs, and insane audience participation! If you’re not sure what I mean, watch the classic movie with your sweetie before you go. The production is going through November 5th and being held at the Out Front Theatre Company, www.outfronttheatre.com.

  1. Kid-friendly – Fun outside Atlanta – Scarecrow Trail and Pumpkin Fest, North Georgia Zoo

If you are up for a little adventure outside the city, check out the North Georgia Zoo for lots of kid-approved Halloween fun. Every weekend in October they’ve transformed the zoo into scarecrow themed fun with pumpkin patches, hayrides, and a petting zoo. Visit http://www.northgeorgiazoo.com/scarecrow-trail–pumpkin-fest.html for more information.

  1. Kid-friendly – Super cool trick-or-treating – Legoland

This is the final weekend that Legoland is hosting its unique take on Halloween with “Brick or Treat.” Stop by for a scavenger hunt, costume contest, and trick or treating…all Legoland style. You can get more information at https://atlanta.legolanddiscoverycenter.com/whats-inside/events/brick-or-treat/.

Happy Halloween y’all! Have a great weekend and Halloween night! Do you have any unique and fun ideas for Halloween? Leave a comment below and let us know how you will be spending it.

My Favorite Fall Festivals in Atlanta

Some of my favorite weather here happens in the Fall and what better way to get outdoors and enjoy a fun, family day than to go to local festival. Since we have two young daughters, we usually end up at family-friendly events. Here are a few of our favorites that you and your family may enjoy. Hope to see you there!

Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival – September 30-October 29, 2017

Fall would not be complete without attending a pumpkin festival and the Stone Mountain Pumpkin Fest is likely the best there is. Of course it’s all about the kids with storytelling, games, a kid’s carnival, a pumpkin patch and pie-eating contest. For details, visit: www.stonemountainpark.com/Events/Pumpkin-Festival.

Taste of Atlanta – October 20-22, 2017

If you like food, like I do, the Taste of Atlanta is a must-do! It’s a three-day shindig with four live cooking stages and food from over 80 restaurants for sampling. There are local and celebrity chefs as well as lots of demonstrations and great interactive activities for the kiddos. Bon Appetit! For more info visit: www.tasteofatlanta.com

Porches and Pies – October 21, 2017

This is a great local event that benefits local charities. And who doesn’t love pie?! There are also lots of great fun activities for the kids…and grown-ups too with live music and great food and drinks. For more info visit www.porchesandpies.com

Country Living Fair – October 27-29, 2017

Since I love just about anything having to do with home decorating and entertaining, the annual Country Living Fair is always a fun treat. There’s lots to look at and learn as well as great food and drinks. The vendors are a great mix of one of a kind items, antiques, and new trends. They also have lots of decorating and cooking demonstrations as well as live music. For more info visit: www.countryliving.com/life/a4126/country-living-fair-atlanta/.

Enjoy your fall! And remember, Fall is also a perfect time to list your home. December is historically the biggest month for closings between September and March every year. So, if you would like to explore your options and know how much your home is worth, give me a call. I’m happy to help!
