Weekend Fun
Happy Friday, friends! We made it, and now it is time to get down to the real business – weekend fun. I’ve compiled a list of events happening throughout our local communities; it’s a festive list, but ‘tis the season after all. If you need to escape the Christmas craze, catch a movie in ultimate comfort at Jackson Square in Hamilton. Have fun exploring, and don’t forget to tag me (@trsmulders) in your weekend adventures.
