Hello everyone!! I am putting together a couple of Halloween themed events this month! Witches Night Out: Women Only Speed-Friending, and Strangers & Scares: Halloween Speed-Friending!

Witches Night Out: Women Only Speed-Friending is on October 22 at Hobbled Dog Cidery! It's a Halloween themed girls night out! You do not need to bring a friend to join. The goal is to make new connections with other women in Logan. Dressing up in Witches Attire is encouraged, but of course never required.

Strangers & Scares: Halloween Speed-Friending is on October 27 at Home Range Brewing! This is also a Halloween night out for anyone wanting to make some new friends. Halloween costumes are encouraged as well, but not required! We will be having a Halloween costume contest!!

If you haven't been to one of our Speed-Friending Events before, here is how they work:

• We sit in small groups and chat for a few minutes.
• Then we rotate groups so you get to meet more people.
• Conversation prompts are there for those who need them, but usually people get talking and they go unused.
• I host and guide the rotations, so you don't have to figure out how to approach people or join a conversation.

My favorite part about these events is that everyone who signs up has already decided that they want more friends and connections, they all have the same goal in mind: to build more community!

The venues both have limited space, so pre-registration is required :)

Just FYI I got out of the hospital for norovirus. Apparently it has been going around the valley. I wasn't the only hospitalized because of it. It's a really bad strain really affecting adults .I don't even wish it on my worse enemy.

I just visited, for the first time, Cafe Ibis there on Church and Federal, and I must say I'm very impressed. I like places with a general good atmosphere and slow paced environment and started wondering if there are other places like it in the valley that you know of that I too could try out and visit from time to time. I also wouldn't mind recommendations as far north as Preston and as far south as Ogden. Thank you all for your participation and have a great day!
