Halloween is still over a week away but I am planning out your wicked awesome celebrations in advance. Grab your calendar and your costume, let’s not waste anymore time. Your Friday Five is here and it’s going to be a beauti-fall weekend!
But First… Witch Hair, Do Care
Is your hair in need of a fresh fall style? Downtown Raleigh’s Salon Veritas is turning seven this month (!), and to celebrate, we are giving one lucky Raleigh Weekend winner a $50 gift card to use on the service of their choice.
Last Weekend To Get That Giant Turkey Leg!
The last day of The N.C. State Fair is Sunday, Oct. 22. Whether you’re going for the food, the rides, or the exhibits, there’s something in it for everyone, but it only happens once a year! Grab a jacket because you’re sure to go through three seasons in one day and get your tickets online early to save time.

Friday Five: It’s Going to Be A Boo-Tiful Weekend
If you know me, you know spooky season is my favorite time of year! While I resisted solely focusing on pumpkin patches and haunted fun this week (don’t worry, there will be plenty of that to come this month), it would not feel right kicking off the first Raleigh Weekend of October without a little Halloween. So, here is a video of the real cast singing songs from my fav movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Now, it’s time to live like Jack and Sally, here’s this week’s Friday Five!
