Things To Do In the Next Week in the Omaha/Council Bluffs Metro (Copy)
Yep, it’s that time of year again. The weather turns colder, it’s dark around 5 p.m., and many folks get the urge to stay indoors instead of venturing out and exploring. I have to admit that I love curling up with my latest book, planning a future trip and drinking a warm mug of hot cocoa this time of year. Well, I’m going to encourage you to do the opposite (or do a bit of both)!
I have two good news flashes for you. First, there is a TON of fun events of all kinds going on in the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro in the next week! I have selected a few examples below for you to explore. Second, the weather is forecasted to be wonderful this week. So let’s get out there! I plan to make the most of it! Here are some ideas I have gleaned from Facebook Events and other resources:
Nature and Spirituality Hike - Hitchcock Nature Center near Honey Creek, Iowa on November 11 at 1:00 p.m.
