What’s happening the week of October 5, 2023.

We did some stuff last week, and we will be out and about this week—come find us!

We rewind to our fabulous evening at the Village Hall and SOPAC to see Pedrito Martinez, the Manet/Degas lecture with Janet Mandel, and Springfield Avenue After Dark at General Store Shops and Cafe.

We are looking ahead to the Bra Fit event, Pet Pride March, Pottery Slam at Durand-Hidden House, and the Craft Beer Tasting. Plus, Chrissy will be at the South Orange Community Day—pop by and see her!

Three Things to Know with the SOM Adult School dance party and even more MAPSO Scary goodness!

Join us as we shelob our way into October with leg-crafted spider webs and a little boogie--oogie-oogie.

We rewind to Ban This art exhibit at 1978 Arts Center, Perch grand opening, a drive down the GSP, and a teaser for our interview with Tori Chickering.

We’re looking forward to Pedrito Martinez (meet us at the Village Hall Pump House at 6pm!), the Mapso Book Fest, Banned Books Week events, Special Mushroom Hike, South Orange Downtown Fall Festival, and the Manet/Degas lecture series.

Three things with an Alzheimer’s fundraiser, Oakland Road Art Club Adult Costume-Making workshop, Outer-Borough Deli, a call for vendors, and—drum roll please—information about the infamous MAPSO Scary house decorating contest!

I hope we didn’t shelob things up too badly… and stay tuned for our bonus episode with Tori Chickering coming this weekend!
