Festival of Trees, Steelheads, Garden aGlow? Yep, November is here!
How can 2020 be only two months away?!?!
One way to stretch out the time is plan a bunch of activities. And you should have absolutely no problem doing that in November.
Not only do we have Thanksgiving to look forward to, but there are many events leading up to that glorious holiday that can be shared with family and loved ones.
Get your chocolate fix at the annual Craft and Chocolate Affaire at the Nampa Civic Center (Nov. 1-2). Enjoy a breakfast at the Eagle Senior Center (Nov. 9) and other activities around the Treasure Valley to recognize Veterans Day. Take a stroll through the Saint Alphonsus Festival of Trees, which kicks off Nov. 27 at the Boise Centre, to ignite your holiday spirits. Wander the grounds of the Idaho Botanical Garden to take in the sparkly spectacle that is Winter Garden aGlow — right after turkey dinner on Thanksgiving night, perhaps.
And the Canyon County Festival of Trees is there for you after the holiday, starting Nov. 29 at the Ford Idaho Center.
And don’t forget to take in a hockey game or two to support the Idaho Steelheads, who are trying to continue their amazing run of making the playoffs in every year of their existence — 22 straight times as it stands now.
