The month of October can be a difficult one to plan
for. Recently you have to take into
account the playoff schedule to plan your night out, because if your
destination does not have high definition televisions you may not hear the end
of it. There are holidays sprinkled throughout
the month you have to take into consideration.
You may want to fit in your “Mama on a Budget” outing this month and
take advantage of a cheap day out with your family. It could be sports, family, holidays, work,
or leisure; October is a fun filled month with a lot of activities for you and
your friends to take advantage of.
There are a lot of activities to do in the area; here are
some that I wanted to bring to our readers attention.
Our very own Mark Collier is having his sixth “Mark vs. Food”
competition this Friday October 12th. The competition takes place at Quaker Steak
and Lube in Florence. As usual the
proceeds go towards helping the Brighton Center. These competitions are always a great time
with great food, and you’re helping charity in the process! It doesn't get much better than that.
Every Friday and Saturday night you can experience the
scariest tour Covington has to offer.
The Haunted
Covington Tour begins at the Baker Hunt Art Academy and covers a 5 block
tour where you’ll be educated on the scariest details and encounters of the
paranormal. If you are brave enough this
is a great outing!
The same company that puts on the Haunted Covington Tour
also appeals to the Newport faithful with their Haunted Newport
Tour. This tour starts at 18 East 5th
street, covers 6 blocks, and lasts around 90 minutes.
For the youngsters and young at heart trick or treating will
be on Wednesday, October 31st from 6-8. The annual jack-o-lantern walk will be on
Thursday, October 25th from 7-9.
If you would rather take advantage
of your free time and accomplish some work around the house The City of Ft. Thomas Annual Leaf
Collection Program is scheduled to begin on October 18th and run through the
week of December 14th. There are some
simple guidelines that should be followed for the leaf pick-up:
§
Loose leaves can only be collected during the regularly scheduled leaf collection period
Loose leaves can only be collected during the regularly scheduled leaf collection period
§ Please remove
all sticks and yard debris from the piles
§ Please do not
bag leaves for collection. Bagged leaves will be picked up on your regularly scheduled trash day
§ Do not wet
down leaves, as the leaf machine will not be able to pick them up
When I say Sunrock
Farm what is your first thought? Probably field trips and chaperones, well
after some research I found they do offer outings for all ages. Sunrock Farm has pumpkin patch tours all month
long where you can take the whole family to pick your own pumpkin and have some
hands on experiences with all the livestock!
Along with the pumpkin patch they offer evening hayrides for groups of
people. The night at the farm lasts
around 4 hours which includes a bonfire and the hayride. All of the details for Sunrock Farm can be
found at their site.
