Some things to do in November

We miss being able to provide the community calendar each month in the magazine, but the pandemic has made providing accurate, up-to-date information on events very difficult.

Still, there are a few things happening this month inside the confines of executive orders and social distancing.

As always, you might want to do a quick Facebook search on the venue the day of, just to make sure something COVID-19-related hasn’t happened.

With those caveats in place, here’s a quick list of things to keep you busy this month:
