2017 Spooktacular Event Roundup

Fall Festivals, Halloween Happenings and Terror-filled Trips Through Doom 

Darkness creeps early in the skies over Limestone County but that isn't keeping the fun away this Halloween season.  From terror attractions to family-friendly Fall festivals, we've rounded up a few events to keep you busy.

The little goblins, princesses, heroes and other creatures of the night will take to the streets and neighborhoods on Tuesday, October 31st - so please, drive with caution and watch for these spirited souls.

Halloween isn't the only chance to have fun in Limestone County, there's plenty of more chances to don a costume or just enjoy fall.  We've put together a list of a few of them around...
