I started Funtober in part to give myself a great excuse to participate in more fall fun. I work way too hard not to take more breaks and enjoy life. Yesterday, I took a break from building Funtober to attend the Arden Fair in Delaware. But there was plenty that I thought you would be […]
I know that Fall technically starts September 22nd. But I don’t think anyone will arrest us for celebrating fall a little bit early this year. Labor Day weekend really does feel like the start of Fall. And the calendar has turned from August to September. Let’s look at what’s happening this weekend: Halloween Costumes!! Thanks […]
I haven’t done much with sports here at Funtober yet. But it is a HUGE part of Fall. October is the heart of the college and NFL football season. AND October contains the Major League Baseball playoffs as well. While I won’t be able to cover these sports to the extent that I would like […]
Look what followed me home from the grocery store. The Best of Martha Stewart: Halloween Handbook. More than 150 enchanting ideas for costumes, decor, tricks and treats.

Hip Hop dance group Academy of Villains from San Francisco killed it on August 15th in a spooky performance set to Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent in order to reach the semifinals. Here’s a brief clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Arqqcw0iFg I’m sorry I missed it the first time around. I used to watch American Idol back when […]
Postponed a day due to Tropical Storm Isaac, the GOP hosts the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida starting tomorrow. It concludes August 30th. This post isn’t the start of some strange personal political rant on my part. There’s two reasons that it’s an appropriate topic to mention here at Funtober. First, the vote for […]
Over the past week, I’ve noticed a few different news stories about haunted houses scheduling auditions for cast and crew members. If you want to spend your free time in October scaring people and having fun, be sure to contact your local haunted house ASAP and find out when they are scheduled. You don’t want […]
