Hi <<First Name>>,

Happy Friday and Happy November!

I hope you and your family had a great Halloween. I am always a little sad when any holiday is over, but I LOVE moving into November and then Christmas and ALL of the holiday festivities that happen in our community the next 2 months. 🦃🎄🎅

Our November Top 10 Best Things to Do is ready! Be sure to check it out TODAY since a few of the events on the list are this weekend. 

Next week (November 7 - 9) is the Polk County School Showcase, formerly the WE3 Expo. This is a great opportunity to learn about the various school options here in Polk County. 

The Lakeland Magic kick off their season this month with the home opener on Saturday, November 16. If you've never been to a Lakeland Magic basketball game, be sure to check out our recent post and then put at least one of their fun theme nights on your schedule. You can see them in action this weekend at the Lakeland Magic Open Practice on Saturday at 11am.

Also new this week - a list of Veterans Day events from November 9 - 11 and our Thanksgiving Break Camp Guide.

Have a great weekend and don't eat too much candy. 😉

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

Last month we went for a consultation at Scott Orthodontics for my 11 year old. I learned SO much about orthodontic care, options for treatment, and got an up close look at his x-rays to see things for myself. This consultation was completely free and answered so many of my questions about braces and why he needs them. 

If you have concerns about your child’s teeth or jaw alignment, or are considering orthodontic treatment as an adult, I highly recommend calling for a free consultation to explore the options. Visit www.scottsmiles.com or call (863) 709-1941.
You can also learn more about Scott Orthodontics in our recent post.
