Drum roll, please ...

Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a bit (more like a few months). Some changes here at the station affected me when they changed my schedule! Now that my plate has cleared up a bit and I’ve gone back to (kind of) normal, there is finally room to give me time to write this newsletter.

The last time I was with you all, we were in the middle of a HOT summer, gearing up for Halloween Horror Nights and more to come with the fall 🍂.

In the last three months (yes, it’s been three months), I’ve had a lot of adjustments, running on no sleep but getting out as much as I can. From the beach to the theme parks, I spent the end of summer enjoying what I could!

So that’s kind of where I’ve been. And you can enjoy some pics I took in the last several months at the top of this newsletter, including a recent trip to Myrtle Beach for my first taste of fall of the season (New York, I’m coming for you!!!!).

I hope you all welcome me back kindly into your inbox (if you didn’t notice I was gone, that’s cool too) 😇.

Let’s get into what’s happening, shall we? ⤵️

While most fall festivals come and go for October, these farms are keeping the party going 🎉.

County Line Family Farms in Ormond Beach extended its fall festival through next weekend.

There will be live music, hay rides, a 10-acre corn maze and more. 🌽 Corn mazes are fun! I went through my second one EVER in the last couple of weeks and it was great.

🕰️ Turn back the clocks: Daylight saving time ends this Sunday, which means darker mornings and lighter evenings. Here’s everything to know about daylight saving time.


That’s all from me!

I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I’ll catch you all soon.
