A good Thanksgiving to all – enjoy a quiet day today. Public events this weekend are few and far between, but we do have a couple worth mentioning: Ben & Jerry’s hosts a blood drive Friday – give a pint, get a pint of ice cream. There’s live music both Friday and Saturday at Summit Coffee. And a big estate sale is planned Saturday on Churchill Road. Sunday brings a holiday concert Mt. Zion United Methodist Church.
