What's Happening in West Bloomfield in October

It's a great time of year to get organized. The kids are in school, the temperature is dropping, and the leaves are changing color. Fall is in the air and will be gone before you know it.

Patch will keep you up to date with what's going on every week, but we've got your monthly look ahead to keep as a handy reference. The thing is, we know we've missed some events — some of which haven't been announced yet — so leave us a comment and let us know what else is going on this month. Our goal is to keep you informed.
