It’s the last month of fall and the prelude to the holiday season, can you believe November has arrived? We only have two months until 2023! Even though there will be fewer daylight hours, daylight savings doesn’t hold a candle to the 50+ experiences coming up in the next few weeks that the Treasure Valley has to offer!
Are you hoping to get an early start on Christmas celebrations, craving a night of good entertainment, or maybe even combining the two? Events like the Hip Hop Nutcracker might be the ticket for a perfect night out!
Jam out at the Dave Matthews concert, eat breakfast with Santa, or shop for a Christmas tree at the Festival of Trees. Sign up for a 5k or honor those who served with a Veteran’s Day workout. The list goes on of things to enjoy and challenges to embrace.
More importantly, try to take a break from the grind. Soak in a night of music or good conversation over dinner. Get outside and reconnect with yourself before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season begins. Make it a November to remember.
Honor a Veteran
“On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free” -Dan Lipinski.
