While the last of our leaves are beginning to turn next to the lake, fall temperatures have already taken effect. Nevertheless, the days are still beautiful out, albeit a bit crisp at times. To keep your engines firing as the days grow shorter, check out the upcoming Canal Park events for the month of November. There’s plenty going on to get you out and about and/or into town!
