It only takes a moment.

Before you comment

The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

    Note to pumpkin carvers and bonfirers: The Friday event (10/23) will go on rain or shine. I’ll be erecting a great big tarp over the fire pit. Cider and cookies and pumpkin paint as well as kid-safe carving tools. Join us!
