A few weeks ago, we highlighted why visiting the Hocking Hills area during the fall season is one of the most ideal times to sight see.  While the leaves changing and the cool air coming in makes for a relaxing stay, you might be wondering what other special seasonal activities there are in the area this time of year. This week on Quoth the Raven we are spotlighting some October events around the Castle that are perfect for on-site guests and locals alike!
