Halloween

Mid-October is prime porch season. The leaves are turning, Halloween is two weeks out, and a front porch refresh is one of the fastest ways to boost your home's curb appeal — no renovation required.

Start with the classics: pumpkins and gourds. A cluster of pumpkins in varying sizes and colors — orange, white, green — arranged on steps or beside the door reads instantly as fall. Mums in deep reds and golds add color that lasts for weeks, and ornamental kale or cabbage tucks nicely into planters.

The City of Post Falls is diving into an underwater adventure this Halloween. On Friday, October 30, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, City Hall at 408 N. Spokane Street welcomes families for Trick-or-Treat at Post Falls City Hall — a free, family-friendly afternoon of trick-or-treating, costumes, and Halloween fun built around an "Under the Sea" theme. Admission is free and costumes are encouraged, so come ready for treats and an underwater Halloween adventure.

October is one of the best months to live in Post Falls. The cottonwoods along the Spokane River turn gold, the air gets that crisp edge, and the town calendar fills up with fall gatherings. Best of all, you don’t have to drive far — here’s what’s happening right here in town this month.
