The weather is changing and finally, it isn't too hot to go outside. The days are still warm enough to get out and break a sweat, but not too hot to have a heat stroke. It is feeling like fall and is the perfect weather to get outside before the inevitable happens. The fall events are beginning to get into full swing, and stores are stocked with fall merchandise, as well as pumpkin spice flavors have taken over everywhere. With fall comes many events and activities, and as another weekend approaches, it is time to get out and enjoy some of the many events that Twin Falls has to offer this time of year. Here are some of the events taking place this weekend.

While it may not seem like the ideal weekend activity, finding the right job is a huge burden off someone's chest and can make enjoying the rest of the weekend that much more enjoyable. The Idaho Department of Labor will be holding a Spooktacular hiring event this Friday, October 7 from 1 PM until 4 PM at the Magic Valley Mall. There will be over 30 employers in attendance, and they are looking to hire you. Where else can you potentially get a new job dressed up in a costume? Costumes are encouraged in honor of the Halloween season. If you are looking for a career change, a second job, or a job to help pay the bills, this is an event you are going to want to attend to start the weekend.

It is time for one of the best events in Twin Falls and that is Twin Falls Oktoberfest. It is back this year and starts on Friday, October 7 from 4 PM until 9 PM, and will start back up again on Saturday from 11 AM until 9 PM. The event takes place on Main Street in downtown Twin Falls. While most think of beer, there is much more to the event and it is fun for the whole family. Yes, there is the beer garden, but there are also food vendors, live music, kids' fun centers, and much more. The event is free to attend, but you will have to pay for the beer, food, and some of the activities. Make your way downtown this weekend for Twin Falls Oktoberfest.

For those that love to escape to the theatre and enjoy a musical, Guys and Dolls is performing this weekend in Twin Falls at the Orpheum Theatre located on Main Street. There are three shows taking place this weekend with Friday and Saturday shows being performed at 7 PM and Sunday's show at 2 PM. Tickets start as low as $17.50 and go all the way up to $66.50 for box seating. The show will be taking place throughout the month, so if you can't make it this weekend you will have a few more chances, but the opening weekend is always the best.

It is the first Friday of a new month and that means it is time for adults to ditch their kids and go have fun being a kid. This Friday from 9 PM until 11 PM at Jump Time in Twin Falls is adult time. For $18 you can get two hours of jumping, popcorn, and a drink. For $2 more you can upgrade that drink to an alcoholic beverage. Snack, drink, fun, and no kids seem like a great way to spend a Friday night. Get a babysitter, leave the kids alone in bed, or make them sit in the car, it's your choice, but either way, you should head to Jump Time and have some fun kid free this Friday. For the record, don't leave your kids in the car or at home alone.

Saturday, October 8 - Jerome Harvest Festival
