Hey, it's Lynn –
​
🎃 Halloween is almost here — and the celebrations are already starting!

Halloween lands on Friday next week, but Northwest Arkansas isn’t waiting to party. Events kick off this weekend with the Zombie Crawl, Rentopia Renaissance Faire, and Dracula in Fayetteville — and that’s just the beginning.

In between all the spooky fun, I stopped by the brand-new Swig Drinks on the Walmart campus in Bentonville — and yes, it’s open to the public! You can see the video below.

I’m headed to a pumpkin-carving party, squeezing in a little camping, a hike or two and filming a video I can’t wait to share with you. Several more are in the works, and trust me — it’s the perfect way to wrap up October. I hope you enjoy them!

Grab your costume, plan your weekend, and scroll below for all the spooky-fun things happening across NWA! 👻
