Southeast Michigan Halloween Happenings

Halloween ROCKS, right?! My family loves this time of year…Pumpkins, haunted houses, and of course, the excuse to dress up! Here’s a peek of Halloween happenings around SE Michigan.

I’ve joined forces with some fellow local bloggers, and since I live in Livingston County, I’m covering this area. I’ve dropped in a few bonus ideas for Ingham and Genesee counties too since I typically cover those areas as well 😀 Happy Halloween-ing!
