Where did this week go? Seems like we were just enjoying a little Monday Night Football and now Thursday Night Football is upon us. As usual, we have several local events to look forward to over the next few days, starting with this evening’s 35th Annual fundraiser dinner for the Worcester County Humane Society, Give Paws and Thanks. Friday brings us Bark for Life in Berlin (along with the 2nd Friday Art Stroll) followed by the Waterfowl Festival in Easton, the Belgian Beer Festival in Cambridge, and the International Food Festival in Milford. It’s the last weekend before the holiday madness officially kicks off on the Eastern Shore, with Winterfest of Lights, Light Up Downtown, and Thanksgiving all rapidly approaching. With the weather still feeling warm enough, we’re also planning on spending as much time as possible outside. Join us in the fun!
