The month of October is now within sight, which is why retailers are in Halloween mode and Spirit Halloween stores are now open throughout Minnesota.

It also means that a terrific family tradition will soon return to Duluth when Boo At The Zoo takes over the Lake Superior Zoo for three Saturdays in October.

Kids already love going to the zoo because of all the animals and fun things to do, and Boo At The Zoo brings that whole experience to a whole new level, so I'd recommend all families pick a Saturday, dress up, and load up on candy.
