One thing that you can expect to find here at Funtober are fall foliage reports as the leaves start changing. If you live in the vicinity of one of these fall foliage drives, it is easy to pile in the car on the right weekend to see the trees when they have the maximum amount […]
I realized at the end of August that I couldn’t run Funtober alone. I must have been delusional for the first half of the year. How did I ever expect to sell Halloween costumes, post to the Funtober blog, run five directories of Fall fun AND sleep? So I found some help. Three new friends […]
When I started working on Funtober last December, October seemed so far away. Now it is right around the corner. I don’t even have to look at the calendar in order to know. As I step outside in the morning, I can feel it in the air. I’ve consumed my first bag of candy corn […]
The Travel Channel definitely has the Halloween spirit this year. You can enjoy the seventh season of Ghost Adventures, the second season of the Dead Files and the first season of Paranormal Papparazzi. Of definite interest to Funtober readers will be the second season of Making Monsters and the one hour special called Halloween Crazier. […]
I spent the weekend working on the costume store. Visitors started emailing me last week asking when they could purchase a Halloween costume here at Funtober. The answer is: Now! The store isn’t perfect. My list of things to improve is long. But: “If you aren’t embarrassed by what you launch with, then you waited […]

I know that Fall technically starts September 22nd. But I don’t think anyone will arrest us for celebrating fall a little bit early this year. Labor Day weekend really does feel like the start of Fall. And the calendar has turned from August to September. Let’s look at what’s happening this weekend: Halloween Costumes!! Thanks […]
I haven’t done much with sports here at Funtober yet. But it is a HUGE part of Fall. October is the heart of the college and NFL football season. AND October contains the Major League Baseball playoffs as well. While I won’t be able to cover these sports to the extent that I would like […]
Look what followed me home from the grocery store. The Best of Martha Stewart: Halloween Handbook. More than 150 enchanting ideas for costumes, decor, tricks and treats. It cost me a pocket emptying $9.95 at Whole Foods. I think a giant conspiracy led me to buy it. First, my mom handed me a copy of […]
