Richmond This Week: October 13 – 19, 2014

RichmondThis Week

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue…

For those of you who are starting the week with a day off, enjoy it! For those of us that don’t, we can take solace in the fact that it’s an odd holiday and everything we learned about Columbus in kindergarten was wrong.

Pick your pumpkins, pick your festivals, check some things off our fall bucket list, and pick some things to do on our calendar and you’ll be able to keep yourself busy all week long.

Keep your eye out for our guide to Halloween coming out this week.

Have a great short- or regular week!
