11/3 & 4 Local Weekend Events

I knew as soon as Halloween was out the door that pre-Christmas events were going to swoop in to take its place.  And, as usual, they’re accompanied by even more tempting food to help keep us warm for the cold - possibly snowy - weather ahead.  Pancakes, sloppy joes, chili, turkey dinner, cakes and all kinds of snacks in between; crafts, vendor goodies, raffles, and tip boards are waiting for you to help support a variety of causes.  But don’t spend all your money this weekend; there’s plenty scheduled for the weeks ahead.
