🍁Oh boy oh boy the leaves are certainly here now.
I hope you're having a happy fall, getting some cider in you and planning out your Halloween costumes and what you'll carve in your pumpkin.
A few new festivals this week! Make sure to support the efforts 🍂😄 Plus looks like the Path Through History has a lot to offer.
🎭I'll admit something I'm not proud to - I haven't been to a Tri-Cities opera show yet.
Given that in the last year I've discovered I actually quite enjoy how maximalist, dramatic, and at times goofy opera can be, I'm definitely planning on making it to one this weekend.
🐻🏒And don't forget that the hockey season kicks off properly this week, with the black bears in for their opener

✅This week's recommendation:
🥾⛰️While I haven't been able to go to nearly as many events of theirs as I had wanted to over the summer, the Binghamton Hikers' Group has been a wonderful addition to bringing people in the area together!
A low-intensity way to meet a wide variety of new people, low stakes join-as-you-feel-like-it vibe, and a nice community on Discord as well.
They just started an LGBTQ+ sub-group as well! Check them out 🌄
Let me know ways I can improve this newsletter!
