With Oktoberfest season upon us, here are some of the Oktoberfest celebrations happening around Central Minnesota.

Organizers of an independent civil rights organization are calling for a National General Strike October 15.

Just like new COVID-19 cases are being reported daily throughout the country, the same goes for the men and women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. Yep, this happens to men too.

Organizers of the largest Renaissance Festival in the U.S. have announced an extended run of this year's alternative parade-event.

Dave thinks it's part of the whole trick-or-treating experience. If you're going to take your kids around the block for hours, it's just the cost of doing business.

Kids secretly speculate about their neighbors based on the goodies they get on Halloween. Everyone always knows who the doctors and the dentists in the neighborhood are.

When I was a kid we HATED getting Bit-O-Honey, hard candy wrapped like a strawberry, Mary Jane, mini packs of raisins (this one is just mean--WHO DOES THIS?)...

Ever since I was a kid we always carved pumpkins really early in October. My mom’s favorite holiday has always been Halloween. By the time the spooky holiday rolled around, our pumpkins would be a rotting mess.

It's finally October, and that means that the haunted attractions are set to open soon if they haven't already! Check out some of my favorite from around our area and the state!

It's almost October, and that means you need to start decorating your home with pumpkins, corn stalks, gourds, ghosts and ghouls! Here are my favorite pumpkin patches in central Minnesota! 1. Nelson Farm, Litchfield–-It’s more than just a pumpkin patch, it’s really a fall festival complete with corn mazes, pumpkin painting, scarecrow stuffing and PUMPKIN CHUCKING...

It's not Halloween until I've carved a pumpkin and this year I cut it pretty close.

My neighbor lady has already started to display Halloween decorations AND pumpkins on her front porch--which begs the question, how soon is too soon to display or carve your pumpkins?
