Unwrap Your Candy

Powder and Wig is putting on a "a delectable evening of four bedtime tales for adults guaranteed to keep you awake for nights on end." It sounds like the perfect pre-Halloween theater.

Camille is an award-winning and internationally-acclaimed choreographer whose company will be performing in Runnals on Friday night at 7:30. While she's here, Camille is also teaching a Master Class on Thursday night, but sign up slots are limited.

3rd Annual Freaky 5k

On Saturday morning (bright and early) at 10 o'clock Hardy Girls Healthy Women will be hosting their annual 5k. Pre-register to make sure you get a free race tee shirt. There's also a costume contest beforehand at 9:30 on Colby's basketball court for all of you realllllly ambitious Halloween enthusiasts.

And, not that it's actually AT Colby, but the Joint Chiefs are playing in Boston this Saturday at the Church of Boston. It starts at 11:30 pm, and tickets are $10 at the door. (Oh, and the event is 18+)

That's all folks-- enjoy your weekend! (And it's probably one of the last weekends we can go apple picking, so you all should do that too!)
