Hanover has somehow packed an entire month’s worth of cozy chaos into one weekend. Whether you want reptiles, robots, fall crafts, or a community hangout that comes with free soup, there is something here for every flavor of human.

A big thank-you to this week’s sponsors, The Rundown AI and Masters In Marketing. Clicking their links directly supports this newsletter

Every community project starts with a few hearts who believe before everyone else does. These are ours:

🧡 The Community Collective

💙 Holiday Vendor Collaboration
💜 Fat Bat Fall Fun Day

📆 Friday, November 14 | 🕕 6 PM to 8 PM
📍 28 Frederick Street

What started as simple postcard nights has turned into a chill Friday meetup with art supplies, good people, and a little purpose woven in. Make something, say something, or just hang out with other friendly humans. Bring a non-perishable for the local food bank if you can.

🗓 Saturday, November 15 | 🕖 7 AM to 10 AM
📍 1177 Carlisle Street

Take your family out for a nice meal and support a good cause. The Guthrie Geeks, Hanover’s seriously impressive youth robotics team, are raising funds for their next First Tech Challenge season. Grab a bite, browse the themed baskets, and throw in a bid or two. Every dollar helps these kids keep building cool robots that do way more than most adults before coffee. Bidding wraps at 10 AM.

📆 Saturday, November 15 | 🕙 10 AM to 3 PM
📍 28 Carlisle Street

More than 30 reptiles are rolling into Hanover for a day of hands-on fun. Think curious snakes, chill lizards, and the rescue crew who helps them find better homes. Free to attend. Toss in a donation if you can, it supports their 501c3 rescue work.

📆 Saturday, November 15 | 🕙 10 AM to 4 PM
📍 1150 Carlisle Street

A rotating lineup of local makers is taking over Wholly Holistic every Saturday through December 20. Expect fresh finds each week, from jewelry and candles to herbal goods, textiles, pottery, and art. It is a joyful, stress-free way to shop small this season.

📆 Saturday, November 15 | 🕛 12 PM to 1 PM
📍 10 N Railroad Street

Fat Bat is going full fall chaos in the best way. Think kid-friendly crafts, seasonal drinks, and a pie-throwing contest where you can literally aim for the brewer’s face. Land the shot, win a prize. They’ll have pumpkin painting, bracelet making, leaf art, mocktails, Pumpkin Pie Shots, Caramel Apple Shots, and sweet treats from Tasha’s Tasty Treats and Eats.

These are just a few of the happenings around town. The Heart of Hanover events calendar is packed full of fun things to do.
