FUN and STRESS-FREE Ways to Enjoy Autumn

By
Real Estate Agent with Best Choice Realtors

Stop worrying for a few hours about life and enjoy some of these MANY area attractions with your family.  Check out the smiles on your kid’s faces as you do silly things like bounce around on a hayride or a watch your kids try to pick up pumpkins bigger than they are.  Let your teenagers get rid of some energy by screaming their way through a haunted house.  They may even think your cool for bringing them!!  As well, Davidson College offers FREE lectures and concerts monthly.  Their offerings run the gamut and truly have something for everyone’s interest.   I’ve attached links to all these events so please take a second to peruse the below.  You’ll be happy you did.
