Published for Friday, November 1
The calendar flips from costumes and goblins to turkeys. The clocks turn ahead an hour on Sunday. It’s a weekend of change. One thing stays the same. As you pull down the witch decorations and compost rotten jack-o-lanterns, take a few minutes to read positive stories on ThurstonTalk.com. You might find your neighbor profiled, a review of your favorite local restaurant, or ideas for weekend events. What we won’t change is the direction of our articles – positive stories about people, businesses, and organizations doing good things in our community.
For the first weekend in November, there is a diverse list of activities for Olympia residents. Cheers!
- Scoot into the Hands On Children’s Museum for Free Friday Night.
