Welcome back to mix 93.
It's time for Hancock happenings not wasting any time Todd Gast.
What's happening in Hancock?
Hey, well, you know, we're full on to fall here in Hancock We it just seemed like the calendar turned For fall and boy now the colors are really turning on the trees
about the turn to October I
know tomorrow is October, right?
So we've got a lot of end of September things and beginning of October right into mid-October
do talk about.
So we only have one more Hancock Thursday Farmers' Markets left.
So tomorrow is the last day.
So that's on October 1st, right here in downtown Hancock from 2 until 6 p.m.
on Quincy Green.
So what a really great idea to start stocking up, thinking about your fall holidays and Christmas Thanksgiving, stocking up on those potatoes.
the squashes that you love, like acorn squash and spaghetti squash, nothing better than fresh picked right here from our local businesses, our local farmers and our local cottage industry folks.
So if you do believe in keeping our money and our economy strong, this is how you do it.
Sadly, it's our last one of the season right here on Quincy Green.
That is two until six p.m.
tomorrow afternoon.
So if you do want to get stocked up on all that, tomorrow's your last day on Quincy Green.
Once again, two until six p.m.
We want to thank all of the vendors who made all of our farmers market Thursdays.
A fantastic season.
So there was lively.
There was a lot going on and we truly thank all of the vendors for, uh, for being a part of, uh, making this a big success here in Hancock this year.
So thank you.
Um, Thursday is a big, big day here in the city of Hancock.
Uh, we've got game night, uh, in downtown Hancock and that's every Thursday.
So you can join the fun at Casey bonkers at one 19 Quincy street and they're open late on Thursdays and they're open in
until 8 p.m.
So what a great way to celebrate with your friends, your family, do some board games and get together and socialize.
Again, that's Casey Bonkers.
They're open until 8 p.m.
on Thursdays and New Teenies Supper Club host Trivia Night every Thursday.
They're at 321 Quincy Street and that is at 8.30 and that's quite a scene at New Teenies every Thursday.
If you want to get involved in it, it is so much fun.
So that's every Thursday.
It's trivia night at New Teeny Supper Club.
That's at 8.30 p.m.

September Arts, of course.

And that's Freeform Stitching by Peg McNinch at the Cynthia Cote Gallery.
And that is through today, September 30th.
If you've not seen this show, I highly suggest making the time today, swing on by and check that show out because it's simply beautiful.
You want to check that out and that is Up Close
personal with Freeform stitching by Peg McNinch and that's at the Cynthia Cote Gallery today is the last day and the Copper Country Community Art Center is also calling all artists to apply to the 50th annual
poor artist sale and the deadline is next week, October 6th.
So that's another landmark right there.
50 years of the poor artist sale at the Calumet High School.
So that'll be in December.
The show will be, but if you want to apply, if you're an artist that would love to do this and you've been a part of this, what a great idea to be a part of it for the 50th year.
the 50th year.
So that deadline is October 6th.
So make sure you do hit that deadline, artists.
We also have the Finlandia Art Gallery presenting a new show with Joyce Koskinmaki, K.O.
Maiwa.
I think it's M.I.W.A.
So I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.
Maggie Parr, Randy Wacom, and Kenyon Hansen.
And that's featuring
works in painting, printmaking, fiber, drawing, and clay.
So the free opening reception is this Thursday.
So that is tomorrow, October 1st, from 7 to 8.30.
And that's open to the public.
So if you'd like to be in the first eyes to go and see this show, tomorrow's opening reception is exactly for you.
This show will run through November 20th.
And I can't wait to go and check that out.
These are really great artists.
We were talking about fall.
So guess what?
There's always cleanup.
comes to fall so the DPW will be picking up City of Hancock residents leaves.
that are packed in bio bags only and bundled branches that are four feet in length only.
So you can get those bio bags, they're green, and you can get them at City Hall or at High Rock Hardware.
They're only $10 per roll, so you get 10 bags per roll, a dollar a bag.
So that's the only way that the DPW will be picking up that organic
matter out of your yard.
So that's leaves must be packed in the green bio bags and your branches must be cut to four feet in length and bundled.
If they are left behind, that is the reason that they are left behind.
If you have questions, you may give us a call at 906-482-2720.
Also, fall brings on the closures that we have.
So Hancock Beach and Campground will be closed on October 15th as well as
Lakeview Cemetery, but before Lakeview Cemetery closes, we are asking that everybody who has flowers or decorations on loved ones grave sites to be cleaned up by tomorrow.
That is October 1st.
So please do make the effort to clean up those grave sites.
You only have until tomorrow, but the weather is pretty good.
So today and tomorrow you have to make sure you get those decorations off those grave sites so that the workers there can prep the cemetery for fall.
and winter.
The 32nd annual pancake breakfast for the Hancock Fire Department is this Saturday, October 3rd from 7 a.m.
until noon.
And that is at the Hancock Fire Department.
So we'd love to have everyone support our firefighters.
It is $10 per ticket for adults and kids under six years old eat for free.
So really let's support our firefighters, all of our volunteer firefighters.
This is a wonderful way to do that with this awesome fundraiser.
