Pumpkin Carving & Puppy Costume Contest
Noon to 7 p.m., Sunday, Axelrad
Let the Halloween spirit arrive early by putting your pumpkin-carving and costume-designing (for puppies) skills to the test. Remember to bring your own carving utensils. Have your pup at the garden by 4 p.m. to enter the contest. Just think about the potential cuteness overload at this event.

Who says trucks are only made for loading and towing? See these beauties tear up the asphalt from sunrise to sunset this weekend at the Royal Purple Raceway. Check here for tickets.

Cherub – Bleed Gold Tour
