History Happy Hour: Conversations in Context – Two Museums – Thursday 5 p.m.
Join the museums for #HistoryHappyHour, a physically-distanced evening of live entertainment and rich conversation. In this edition, guests will learn how contemporary topics fit into historical context inspired by exhibits in the museums. Enjoy free admission, a cash bar, and live music from saxophonist Tiger Rogers. Light refreshments will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to safety precautions for COVID-19, face masks are required while in the museums and social distancing guidelines must be maintained. 

Museum Trail cleanup – Laurel Street Park – Saturday 9 a.m.
With asphalt soon to be poured on the new Museum Trail and one last chance to get a dumpster in, it’s time for one final community cleanup. Meet at Laurel Street Park and help for as long as you can.

Sausage Fest 2020 – Cultivation Food Hall – Saturday Noon
Celebrating National Sausage month and the fall season, Cultivation has teamed up with Country Pleasin’ to offer a variety of sausages. From grilled sausages outside on the patio to specialty sausages served inside by vendors, seasonal drinks, music by Kyle Graves (2-4:30 p.m.), a photo area, and more.

An original version of this story featured Saturday’s Pop-Up Restaurant with Chef Chavin Burnley at the MS Agriculture and Forestry Museum. This event has been postponed until November 14.
