Our Favorite Night of the Year is in 12 Days!
This weekend, I'm taking my annual trip up to Calico Ghost Town and it's probably the last major Halloween event I'm doing for 2018. This has been a whirlwind Halloween season that started for me all the way back in July and I hope you've enjoyed all the coverage of this year's Halloween happenings. With just 12 days until our favorite night of the year, you're probably putting your finishing touches on your costume, getting the last of your supplies for this year's Halloween party, or maybe you're simply counting down the days until you get to enjoy that leftover Halloween candy. Meanwhile, I'm over here reflecting on the last few months and looking ahead to 2019. While the Halloween season might be coming to a close for most, rest assured I'll still be here spreading the Halloween spirit well into the holidays and into 2019. So don't expect to rid your inbox, your RSS feed, or your social media of me anytime soon.
Keep it Creepy,
