October 26th is the Saturday before Halloween. Looking for something fun to do below are a handful of events happening in the panhandle. A little something for everyone. Also each area most likely has something planned so be sure to look in your area. And Saturday’s weather will feel a little like fall in the high 70’s and low 80’s throughout the day and light scattered rain is expected in some areas off and on so be sure to plan for that. As always more information below each photo and HAVE FUN!
