It’s official – October is the greatest month of the year

Okay, so every month on this blog, we tout why that particular month is the “best.” But let’s get real – October is truly the greatest month of the year in Colorado. Seriously! Not only is the weather outside perfect, this is the time of year where all of your favorite scary movies are playing on TV. All of the pumpkin-flavored goodies are in the stores. You always have that one creative neighbor who goes all-out with the awesome Halloween decorations (or maybe it’s you?). And, of course, on the 31st, you get to eat ALL of the candy that you want, no judgment.

October is also an event-packed month, from corn mazes to festivals to trick-or-treat events. We’ve managed to cull down the list and highlight a few fun activities for our Stepping Stone residents, young and old. We hope to see you at all of these!
