The Week Ahead: Political Debate, Celebrating Soccer and Thanksgiving

This is one of those weird weeks on the calendar. There is work to be done, but you're lying if you say you're not thinking at least a little bit about Thursday or Friday, or possibly both. Who could blame you, with, Thanksgiving providing opportunity to break bread with those important to you, and Friday with all those "Black Friday" deals and the Small Business Saturday opportunities following on the day after.

If you're still looking at options for how to cook your turkey, and for some suggestions. If you're a retailer with special hours this weekend, you'll want to post an announcement to tell your customers. And if you're waiting until this week to officially get into the holiday spirit, may I humbly suggest you take a visit to our Holiday Guide for ideas and inspiration. We'd also love your additions to our calendar if you know of a breakfast with Santa, a holiday fundraiser or anything else you'd like to share with your congregation or the rest of the community.

A few other reminders:

There is no Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Monday night, due to a lack of applications.

We will have coverage of the second debate between Congressional candidates Ann Wagner and Ed Martin, which takes place Monday night in O'Fallon. Read here for a look at

We'll also be taking a look back at what was a history-making weekend for fans of Creve Coeur soccer, with Priory and De Smet both earning state titles in Blue Springs.
