Buckle up your seat belts, folks. From here on out every weekend in Huntsville is going to be action packed! We love Halloween fun, and there’s plenty of the free & cheap variety here for your family. Be sure to download the free Explore Huntsville app to get all the best RCM info on the go. Be smart – don’t forget your mask and hand sanitizer!
Keep our Fall Activity Guide close (you’re going to need it!) and our list of where to go to Trick-or-Treat! For even more spooky fun check out these Halloween events around town for the kids!
A Little Housekeeping Note…
We’ve decided to spend a lot less time on our Facebook Page and more time in friendlier & less toxic social spaces. (I think we could all use that, amiright?) If you don’t want to miss anything, be sure to sign up for our weekly newsletter, follow us on Instagram, or join our Super Reader Group. We’ve got some giveaways planned there and we don’t want you to miss them!
