This is the start of six weeks of holiday activities and while you may be thinking, ‘it’s too early to be starting Christmas stuff,” you, my friend, are wrong. Christmas is awesome! Also, that night there will be free ice skating at Mediacom Ice Park. More information is provided HERE.

The weekend is finally here again.. I have a feeling that it’s going to be a chilly one. Regardless, lets talk about some stuff that’s happening off campus for those of you who aren’t going home.

Feeling an urge to get into the Christmas spirit? Wickmans Garden Village is hosting their 53rd annual Christmas Open House. Plus, it’s free. Free Christmas Spirit? Can’t beat that. They will have free popcorn, crafting, baking, and as many poinsettias as you can possibly imagine… so, around 8000. For dates and location, click HERE.

It’s parade season. Kicking it off is this years Veterans Day Parade. On November 10th, the Springfield Community will be celebrating our veterans downtown at 10AM.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN WEEKEND

by

I have a feeling it’s going to be a chilly weekend. The wind is blowing and the air is bitterly cold. It’s time to start pull out your winter coat and bundle up in the morning. While all of that may sound depressing and just down-right awful, keep in mind, Halloween is next week and there is all kinds of halloween-ish stuff to do this weekend!

Springfield is home to a great haunted house called The Hotel of Terror. Established in 1978, the haunted house keeps getting better and better. It’s located downtown at 334 North Main Avenue and weekend admission is $13.00 a person. For more information, click HERE.

Also, tomorrow night is C-Streets Annual Thriller Dance. At 7:30 PM, the C-Street Zombie Corps will be presenting Thriller on C-Street, Epidemic III: The Dr. Deadalous Traveling Zombie Show. The 10-15 minute show is rated PG-13 and is FREE. For more information, click HERE.

Don’t be afraid of the temperature this weekend. Get out and experience all of the Halloween fun that Springfield has to offer!

MSU Association of Fashion & Design presents the 4th Annual Catwalk for the Cure

Friday, October 12, 2012 @ 7:00 PM

If any fashion savvy students are looking for something to do tonight, head downtown the the Randy Bacon Photography Studio and Gallery for a student run fashion show. Four years ago, MSU Fashion students came up with the idea of holding a fashion show to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks. The show has been a huge success and it continues to benefit the finding of a cure for breast cancer.

There will be raffles and t-shirts available for those interested and there will be cake afterwards.

Tickets are 5$ in advance from Ashley Trigger and 8$ at the door.

Everyone loves hearing stories. Okay, so that may not be completely true but for those of you who do love hearing stories, there is a place for you. On the second Saturday of the month, fellow Springfielders gather on C-Street to downtown’s best live music and hear amazing and funny stories by locals. There are no rehearsed lines and no special effects. Oh and did I mention… It’s free. Head down to Q Enoteca for food, smoothies and coffee and to hear some of the best stories around.
