💡This Is What The Rest Of The Week Looks Like
30+ live music events | Open Houses | Tree Lightings | Thanksgiving Eve celebrations | And more

Good morning, neighbors 👋
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! “The biggest party night of the year!” For me, that likely means playing “war” with my 11 year old and being in bed before 10 🤪.
This will be the final issue for the week. I am THRILLED to unplug for a few days and enjoy my family. I’ve put quite a few things together for you, and I hope you find some stuff that is useful and enjoyable. Wherever the next few days take you, may your travels be safe and your moments memorable.
Lastly, I have a poll in here today asking how often you’d like to be receiving this publication. I would REALLY appreciate you taking it and letting me know. I have 3x more subscribers than I did the last time I asked, so I am interested to hear from you. I truly want this to be about you, not me.
Thank you for being here, Happy Thanksgiving, and I’ll see you out there!
