Happy Halloween, and welcome back to another Local Tourist. If you’re new, this is where you can link up any past blog posts about events you attended or places you went in your hometown (AKA: show us how you were a local tourist this month). Dara from Not In Jersey and I link up every last WEEKDAY of the month, so if you don’t have anything for October, link up next month!
Local Tourist #bloglinkup- What did you do in October? Let us know #ontheblog! Share on XThe Month That Was October 2018…
* On Sunday, October 7, my sister and I attended a library event where we got to decorate cupcakes in honor of the new season of Doctor Who…hence the night sky look! And yes, I count library events as local tourist events; so as you you can see, a lot of things go with this link-up! Mine are first, and my sister’s are second (the more purple ones).
* On Wednesday, October 10, I attended a Bullet Journal class at another library. I actually shared a few of the pages I designed in another post, so you can check that out here: Bullet Journal 101.
*On Friday, October 12, I went to a murder mystery dinner at the Cincinnati Zoo with a friend. The food was really good and the actual “murder mystery” was fun! I did a whole up write up of that event already as well: Murder Mystery Dinner at the Zoo!
*On Saturday, October 13, I went to Burger Farm for their Fall Festival. It was a lot of fun having my nieces and nephew around this year – they all had a really nice time. You can read more about that here: Burger Farm in Cincinnati Ohio.
*On Sunday, October 14, I went back to the Ohio Renaissance Festival with my parents and my sister. We all really loved it!
*On Thursday, October 18, my mom and I went to a library event and made Halloween candy jars. I think they turned out really cute, and I’d love to make more for upcoming holidays! What do you think?
*On Saturday, October 20, my parents, sister, and I went to King’s Island and attended their Halloween Haunt. Unfortunately, it was really windy so a lot of rides weren’t working- I don’t ride a ton, but even the ones just my sister likes weren’t going on. We didn’t stay too long, but it’s still fun to go at least once every Fall!
*On Thursday, October 25, my mom and I went to ANOTHER library event where a chef came and showed us how to make some fun Halloween treats. We even got to try all of them, which is always nice – my favorite was probably the punch!
*On Sunday, October 28, my mom and I met up with my brother’s family at King’s Island for the The Great Pumpkin Fest. It was chilly, but we all had a really good time – the kids got some fun goodies and candy, and they also got to ride a lot of rides with either no or minimal wait times. so win-win for them! It was the last day of the Halloween festivities, so I’m glad we were able to make it there with the kids.
*On Monday, October 29, my sister and I went to a book event for author Lois Lowry and were even able to get a book signed! I’ll have more on this in a future post, but it was great!
Whew, that’s a busy October! Definitely a lot of library events in there. November should be a bit slower on that front, but still 2-3 events I believe. I’m also linking up with What’s New With You!
Anyway, do you have any fun Local Tourist posts to share?
If you don’t, feel free to comment on what fun things you did in October!
It sounds like you’ve had a fun month! Those cupcakes are gorgeous, and I’d love to attend a bullet journal class at some point! <3

Your library sounds awesome and I love the Starry Night cupcakes.
I have made the candy jars before and enjoy going to the library as well. I read your bullet journal because I am in to all kinds of journaling.

You have done so much this month! I especially love that cute candy jar. I am feeling as though I should make myself more of a local tourist as well. 🙂
Sounds like you had a fantastic month! I love that you attend so many library events—and I can’t wait to hear about the Lois Lowry signing!
Sounds like a very busy, full month! The candy jar is cute! The Murder Mystery at the zoo sounds like it was a lot of fun. My husband would love that.

Looks like a fun and busy month! I love your candy jar — I think I might copy it. And I love Lois Lowry! Happy Halloween!
I just love library events!! Mine’s hosting one in November based on the Netflix show Nailed It! We’ll have to mimic a cupcake design and get as close to the original as possible. I can’t wait.
Wow!! That’s an eventful month. Those cupcakes look awesome 🙂
We keep saying we want to do a murder mystery dinner, they sound like so much fun.
You did so many fun things this month! I really need to be better about checking to see what my library (and other nearby branches) offers–I’m sure there are fun events. The chef event sounds like a blast!
