November is here, and while it’s nice to cozy up on the couch and catch up on the fall line-up of shows and Netflix, there are a few events worth getting out for. Bundle up, put on the wellies, set the PVR, and we’ll see you out there.
Neon is becoming a popular theme for local events, ranging from the neon run to the neon paint party! Let’s put a little “GLOW” to the everyday life with a fun little workshop, featuring a local west end artist! Andrea Arnot will be teaching the basics of decorating your favorite item with el wire. El wire is a battery-powered illuminated tubing which can be used on clothing as well as equipments. This is perfect to add a touch of style and safety while riding in the dark!
