Autumn is in full swing, which means we’re in the middle of homecoming season. You can catch Hillcrest’s parade Friday at 5:30, with the route starting in front of Franklin.

Work the fall carnival circuit this weekend at Withers from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or swing by Wesley Prep from 4 to 7 p.m. for the annual Spooktacular.

Keep with that autumn theme and pick a pumpkin from the patch at the corner of Royal and Hillcrest. That Royal Lane Baptist pumpkin patch is open from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 7 p.m.
