A mix of weather this weekend means that you want to get yard work and pumpkin patch visits done early in the weekend and then snuggle up with a warm cup of soup or beverage toward the end of the weekend. Of course we have football games, Homecoming dances, soccer matches, and other activities to weave into the schedule too. No matter what you are looking for this weekend, ThurstonTalk’s event calendar has you covered.
