Hope everyone had a fun Halloween and stayed warm! I've already been hearing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas If You" while I still have bats on my wall, a spider in my yard, and pumpkins welcoming visitors at my door.
I'm excited to continue to use those pumpkins for Thanksgiving decor this year. We're going to take off the stickers and write things we are thankful for throughout November.
If you carved your pumpkins and are looking for a safe way to dispose of them, here's a fun event in Elgin and other places you can take them on Saturday, November 4th!
