We usher in October this weekend a month that never fails to be a complete and total riot to our senses! We scurry about planning Fall festivities, choose costumes and peruse pumpkins fueled by heavily spiced lattes. Some of us will wear warmer clothes, just because we NEED to, (THIS is the time of year Northerners stand out of the crowd!) And things to do in Tampa starts ramping up as we head into Holiday Season. On the list this week you will find Oktoberfest events as Oktoberfest launches in Germany today, even an early Halloween Horror movie event, as well as a HUGE Kids fest and much more.
