The pumpkins are mushy and in the compost pile. I spotted red cups at Starbucks. I see orange shifting away from store fronts in favor of snowflakes. And, at ThurstonTalk, our writers are already diligently working on the best shop local, eat local, attend local stories about celebrating the holidays in Thurston County. Trust me, though, when I say that we’ll hold off on publishing any stories truly holiday-related until the week of Thanksgiving. (I have to give my planners advance notice now so that they are prepared.)
Until then, enjoy reading our stories as you have been doing. And, if you have a story that you want us to cover (or uncover something you are curious about), drop us a note at submit@thurstontalk.com. We always welcome story ideas from our readers.
