Y’all, I had the best weekend. If you haven’t been to the Nashville Fall Festival yet, I highly recommend it. My daughter was in harvest heaven with all the fall flowers and decor, games, tractor rides, pumpkins, and sunflower picking! They have two remaining weekends - and we got free passes with your name on them.

Another seasonal favorite of mine, Boo at The Zoo, launched this week and runs until November 1st, where guests can experience trick-or-treating stations, carn-evil games, photo ops, scary-go-round spins, costumed characters, and animal shows every night at Nashville Zoo. We’re giving away a family 4-pack of tickets - enter to win!
