Starting November 16, 2022

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” – William Arthur Ward (1921-1994), American motivational writer

We must be thankful for all the blessings in our lives, like the calm of a Blairstown sunrise, before holiday chaos fully descends upon us. The calendar is starting to populate with Thanksgiving happenings and Christmas fun! There will be no shortage of craft shows, photos with Santa and hot cocoa for all!

Festive events are kicking off this week with shopping, crafts and wine specials. Next week brings not only Thanksgiving and Small Business Saturday, but also opportunities to start searching for that perfect Christmas Tree! Look for the "More Things To Do" segment of next week's Wanderings, as it will feature a guide to Warren County Christmas Tree Farms.
