Happy Furniture Market Week! Kidding. This newsletter is for Greensboro. 😉
Somehow we’re at the end of October. On Sunday, we gain an extra hour to our days. Plan accordingly (or don’t).
Yall ready for Halloween? Do you dress up? I do. For the last decade or so, I’ve consistently dressed up as an animal (last year = axolotl). The consistent theme makes my costume decision easy. Yet, I still don’t have one picked out. If you have an idea for me, reply with your recommendation. Extra points for blow up costumes.
Okay. This city loves Trunk or Treat events. You’ll see in a second. I’m sure there’s more out there too!
Some highlights based on interest:
-Groovy? Ecstatic Dance on Monday
-Crafty? Mend It Nite on Tuesday
-Historian? Archive Tour on Wednesday
-Immersive? Family Ghost Hunt on Thursday
-Fan of ogres? Shrek Rave on Friday (lol)
-Outdoorsy? Fall Foilage Paddle on Saturday
-Yoga? Glowga on Saturday
-Dog lover? Paws & Pumpkins Furr-ade on Saturday
-Blues music? Blues & Foods Market on Sunday
Poll this week helps guide our development. Not sure we can execute on it immediately, but would like your feedback.
Right now we send one newsletter a week. If we sent two (say, Monday + Thursday), how would you feel?
Btw congrats to Kay P. on winning the Sam Bush tickets last week. How was the show, Kay?
Scroll time.
