Happy first day of November. Is it time to turn the holiday music on yet? Lots of holiday shops in Muskingum County seem to think so, there’s a lot of sales this weekend. Hopefully everyone is recovering well from all the candy consumption yesterday. As we move into the weekend, it’s looking like the rain is going to hold off for the beginning of the week. So, plenty of time to get out to some outdoor, or indoor, community events. Have an event this weekend or during the coming weekends you would like to see in the planner?
