Hey, Traverse City! Happy Halloween! Trick-or-treating is tonight from 5 to 8 p.m., so keep an eye out for little monsters roaming town! We’re in for some sunshine Friday and Saturday, with classic fall temps in the 50s.

With outdoor farmers markets wrapped up for the season, remember you can still shop fresh at the indoor market at The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, happening every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through April.

If you can’t read it all, make sure you hit “Read Online” at the top.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to turn back your clocks on Saturday night!
