Weekly Events & Activities Oct 1st-7th
Hello October! October is one of my favorite months on the island. It's buzzing with activity and the weather starts to finally cool down. Kick off this week with Family Game Night at Bahama Buck's on Tuesday. Bingo will be the game! The Pumpkin Patch at Moody Methodist opens on Thursday! Check the monthly calendar for all the activities happening at the Patch. Friday is the start of the Galveston Island Film Festival & Conference, a new conference on the island. On Saturday, build a Fireboat at Home Depot, find a great book at Friends of Rosenberg Library Annual Book Sale, and catch "Hocus Pocus" (my fav!!) at Movie Nite on the Strand. Finish off the week at the Holy Family Catholic School Fall Festival on Sunday, full of games and fall fun. Have an awesome week!
