Some unusually “warm” temperatures for this time of year are in store for us this weekend. Can you believe mid-50s as Thanksgiving approaches? However, we will have two of the days with mornings below freezing. Will will have some morning rain on Saturday and some drizzling on Sunday, so dress warm if you head out in the morning and be prepared to scrape some ice off your windshield.

As always, click on the title for more or detailed information on the event. Most of the events were pulled from our event calendar where you can find hundreds of local area events each month. The event calendar is FREE, so if you are a local business, and not taking advantage of FREE publicity, shame on you! Are you a local business and want to sponsor this high traffic, weekend guide?
