Hey neighbors!!

Hope you had a good week. If you went to Clue at the Lehi Arts Center, the Silver Band's Halloween concert, or Día de los Muertos at Thanksgiving Point, we'd love to hear how it went. Just hit reply.

Halloween is on a Saturday this year, so the Halloween events around Lehi are spread across the whole week. Lehi High's trunk-or-treat is Monday, and Thanksgiving Point has themed nights at its museums Wednesday through Friday. The city's Halloween Extravaganza at the Legacy Center is Friday night, and kids' tickets are a dollar cheaper if you buy them ahead. On Saturday afternoon, Main Street businesses are handing out treats from 4 to 6, so younger kids can trick-or-treat before it gets dark. Details for everything are below.

If this newsletter adds value to your week, consider forwarding it to a friend or neighbor. The more people who are plugged in locally, the more we can surface events, updates, and hidden gems worth knowing about.
