It’s the last weekend of October! While we’re in the thick of the school year, gearing up for the holidays, I encourage you to take time with the fam this weekend. If you have teens in the house, we rounded up a few local activities for a family outing they won’t hate (really!). It’s also Halloween weekend, so don’t miss these spooky happenings or my weekend’s top 10 events. And you can catch the season’s last 6 p.m. sunset at the playground of the week, Jefferson Park, and then continue playing after dark — it’s one of our favorite lighted playgrounds.
