WOW, there is SO much going on, not only this week, but the whole month! I have already compiled much of the months activities, and it is a bit overwhelming as to how many Fall/Halloween activities are available to South Floridians!
I am always looking for every event/activity possible, if
you have or no of a great family event going on in the South Florida Tri-County
area, let me know so I can plug it in the appropriate week.
Always check details on each event/activity to be sure details
have not changed. Life happens and I am known to make an occasional mistake.
