Can ya’ll feel it??? A touch of coolness in the air. The way the sun is shining just a teeny bit differently. Yep, you know what I’m talking about – the change in weather! I believe our Florida “Fall” has arrived. October is one of my absolute favorite months of the year in Florida – the weather is just spectacular! Let’s see what we can find for everyone to do this weekend – get outside and enjoy!!!
Mercato – Friday Fun, North Naples, Friday – October 2, 2009 6-10 p.m.
Mercato First Fridays mixes fun with fundraising from 6-10 p.m. Friday as the North Naples firefighters come to The Mercato to sell their 2010 calendar, with 50 percent of the proceeds benefiting the new Neighbors Helping Neighbors charitable program for those in need due to medical expenses. The night will also feature music, raffles and special discounts from participating stores and restaurants.

Oh I am all over this one! Pumpkin patches are so awesome!! I make it a point to take my kids AND my camera every year.
Our church usually has a small but well decorated pumpkin patch and hay ride too – Estero United Methodist – just North of Corkscrew road on US 41.
