On this podcast, John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman take you around the state for things to do in October!

Segment 1: Gonzo & Amy talk about some of their recent fall adventures.

Segment 2: Good friend Paul Beachnau of the Gaylord Tourism Bureau updates folks about this season's fall colors, as well as why the Elk (mainly the male members of the herd) are making so much noise this time of year. Learn more about Gaylord at gaylordmichigan.net.

Segment 3: Justin Wendzel, day-to-day operations manager at Gull Meadow Farms, fills us in on the fun at his family farm in Richland (near Kalamazoo). They have a petting zoo, corn maze, ziplines, u-pick apples, cider and doughnuts, a marketplace and more. He said everyone is gearing up for the Fall Festival weekend on Oct. 28 when they drop a 1,000 lb. pumpkin from a crane to smash a car and shoot off cannons of candy. They also remain busy throughout the Holidays with a light show and other events. More details at gullmeadowfarms.com/special-events/.

Segment 4: We close the show in Marshall where Choose Marshall's Kimber Thompson tells us all about the Skeletons that invade this historical town every Halloween season. This year you can discover 60 decorated and themed skeletons all throughout the downtown area. Learn more at choosemarshall.com.
