Welcome to Texans favorite season: fall! That’s right, while the northern states celebrate the end of winter with something called “Spring” (meh), we here in the south lose our collective minds when the heat breaks. And who can blame us? We finally get to walk outside again. Walk. Outside. Without frying. We get to wear clothes that may not be sweat-soaked by 10am. We can actually order warm beverages.
In celebration, there are events almost every day of October. Here are a few favorites to kick things off.
October 1–Kessler Pumpkin Patch
10am-4pm at Kessler United Methodist Church, 1215 Turner Ave, Dallas, 75208
Games, rides, and bounce house for kids. Pumpkins galore for purchase and awesome photos. Marketplace and food for all.
