Spooky Season…Enter if you DARE
The days are shorter, the nights are creepier, the air is colder….it’s officially spooky season.
There is no better way to spend #spookyseason than screaming at Wilson County’s own haunted woods.
Deadlands Haunted Woods has been in the scaring business for 10 years. With three different options to choose from when it comes to getting scared, they guarantee you won’t leave disappointed.
You can pick from The Curse, The Portal, The Crypt, or if you’re feeling brave enough, take a stab at all 3!
They are open Fridays and Saturdays until November 3 from 7 PM-midnight. They will also be opened on Halloween for a midweek scare!
So get out this weekend, and dive right into #spookyseason.

P.S. It might be a good idea to go over the weekend so the nightmares don’t make you oversleep for work.
Happy Fall Ya’ll
Fall weather is finally here, and whether you’re excited for the timeless fall pieces like flannels and chunky sweaters or want to take a ride on the wild side with trends like flared jeans, popcorn tops, or lace, the Historic Lebanon Square has shopping to fit all your fashion needs.
Buzzfeed mentions a few other trends to be on the lookout for as 2018 comes to a close. Those include:
- Scrunchies (yes, the 80s are back!!)
- Plaid, plaid, plaid!
- Wide leg pants, but more specifically those 70’s flared jeans.
- The color lavender (whether it be a new hair color, a fun colored bag, or nails)
- Hit up your military surplus store because camo is bigger than ever
So head on out to the square and visit 3:Sixteen, Iddy & Oscars, Urban Mills Boutique, Dreams Boutique, Poppie’s Boutique, Eden’s Edge Boutique, and Jessy’s Boutique, and while you’re here, check out this slideshow of pictures from the boutiques, featuring some of their new fall items.
Happy Fall Ya’ll!

There’s No Place Like Home
Ashley Shores Joins WC TourismI’m finally back home.
Wilson County is most definitely a familiar place to me. So, sit down, kick your feet up, and relax as I tell you a little about myself.
My name is Ashley Shores, and I am the newest addition to the team over at the Wilson County Tourism Department.
I have been a resident of Wilson County for as long as I can remember (like since I was in diapers). The only time I’ve been away from Wilson County was to go to school in an even smaller town. I went to The University of Tennessee at Martin where I got to live out my dream of being a radio DJ by day and studying at night. I worked at a nationally award-winning radio station for most of my college career, but it wasn’t until I met our current Chancellor, Dr. Keith Carver, that I fell in love with Social Media and knew I wanted to make a career of it.
Fast forward to August 2018. I have graduated and now I have to enter the real world. I moved back to Wilson County, put my nose to the grindstone, and found the perfect job. Well…
That’s where I am now. I will be that voice behind WilCo’s social media. So, if you see puns, pictures, videos, or anything else, that is all me. I am so excited to be working with such an amazing team, but the most important people to my job are YOU GUYS! Tell me where to eat (I love to try new things), shop (I might have a shopping problem), explore (I love to be outside with my pup), and anything else you love in Wilson County.
I want to find all the hidden gems that Wilson County has to offer, and I plan on doing that along with my {fur}ever friend, Jax.
So, here we go! Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore. Adult world commencing in 3…2…1…
