A few weeks back, we put together a “Save the Date” post to remind everyone what was coming up in and around Savannah during October and November. In doing so, we realized that a majority of the best events were all happening on this same weekend. That weekend is here. Like what, you ask? Here you go. MORE than enough to keep you busy this weekend….
