October brings us cooler weather, good football games to watch, pumpkin-spiced lattes, and Halloween. Yes, October is truly one of the best months of the year, especially in Oklahoma.
This article will give you a heads-up to all the spooky fun things for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy this October in Oklahoma!
