The weekend is finally here again.. I have a feeling that it’s going to be a chilly one. Regardless, lets talk about some stuff that’s happening off campus for those of you who aren’t going home.

Feeling an urge to get into the Christmas spirit? Wickmans Garden Village is hosting their 53rd annual Christmas Open House. Plus, it’s free. Free Christmas Spirit? Can’t beat that. They will have free popcorn, crafting, baking, and as many poinsettias as you can possibly imagine… so, around 8000. For dates and location, click HERE.

It’s parade season. Kicking it off is this years Veterans Day Parade. On November 10th, the Springfield Community will be celebrating our veterans downtown at 10AM.

Enjoy your weekend!
