🍦 Your Weekly Scoop: Touchdowns, Trivia, & Temperamental Temperatures!

TOGETHER WITH

Happy Monday, South Siders!

It’s November 4th, which means Halloween candy might finally be out of sight (but not quite out of mind), and the decorations have probably found a cozy corner in the garage until next year. The pumpkins are turning, the Thanksgiving recipes are resurfacing, and suddenly, it’s jacket weather—sort of, on alternating days. Classic Indiana fall, right?

This week, we’re diving into a lineup of cozy events, some neighborly updates, and, as always, a few reminders to slow down and enjoy the golden leaves (before they’re all in your gutters). So, pour that extra cup of coffee, and let’s start November right. 🍂☕

In today’s South Side Scoop:

• 🗳️ More Voting Locations Open - With added spots, you can dodge the lines and vote at your convenience.

• 🎄 Bargersville's Merry & Bright Contest - Register by December 8, then light up the town for a chance to shine in this festive competition.

• 🧠 Trivia Tuesday - Grab some friends and test your smarts; catch a game and bring home some bragging rights!

Let’s get to it!
