🎉 This Weekend in Hanover
Halloween might technically end Friday night, but Hanover isn’t ready to pack up the pumpkins just yet.
There are still dozens of spooky events happening through the weekend — haunted hayrides, trick-or-treats, and even a Halloween Bash or two. You can find the full list right here:
But for today’s list, I focused on five community favorites that capture Hanover’s heart in other ways — through food, fun, generosity, and good old-fashioned togetherness.
A big thank-you to this week’s sponsors, Author.Inc and 1440 Media**.** Clicking their links directly supports this newsletter and helps me keep it free for the community.
