New November
In November, the smell of the air is new and different, it smells of food and warmth, like coming home. The aromatic rushes of cinnamon and pumpkin can fill up the empty spaces like an invitation to everyone in their homes. Ms. M remarks that the air bites with a crispness as a hazy fog welcomes her in the morning on her commute to the office. There’s nothing like this time of year and every reason to safely enjoy the changing season without overspending.
Give a little and get something in return at Boomers Modesto. The family favorite miniature golf course and activity center is hosting a month-long canned food drive during the month of November. Whenever you bring in 2+ non-perishable food items, they will give you a round of mini golf on them. The fun center has complied with COVID-19 safety protocols and promises a fun and safe environment. More Info: www.boomersparks.com/modesto/
If you missed going to the movie theater indoors, then you are in luck because Galaxy Theaters in Riverbank is open with COVID-19 safety protocols in place for your viewing pleasures. There are many old movies running for $1 alongside newer movies titles at regular theater prices that vary week by week. Reservations are online and private theater rentals can be reserved starting at $99. More information or ticket information can be found online at: www.galaxytheatres.com/movie-theater/riverbank
This time of year is all about giving and sharing of resources but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a night out with a bit of entertainment to do so. The Queen Bean hosts a Thanks-for-Giving canned food donation event that adheres to COVID-19 safety protocols on November 20th from 6-9pm. Vendors, artisans, crafts, smores, a free raffle and musical entertainment are part of this free family friendly event. Give a little to support a great cause and enjoy a night out.

The Christmas spirit may come early this at the Friends of Community Hospice Annual Fantasy of Trees event.
They invite you to join them in celebrating the spirit of the season early this year with their local designer decorated trees and wreaths that are on display in the windows of the many participating merchants of McHenry Village in Modesto from November 4-29, 2020. The items on each of the beautifully decorated trees will be up for auction on Handbid to benefit Community Hospice.
