Will Walk for Scones
Hillsdale's annual Thanksgiving Day Scone Walk is on again this year, thanks to hosts SW TrailsPDX and Karen and Glenn Bridger. They invite the SW community to take a self-led neighborhood hike that includes a stop for coffee and scones from 9:30-11 am. At the midpoint of the walk, on SW Vincent Place cul-de-sac, scones, coffee, and tea will be served by neighborhood and trails advocates Glenn and Karen Bridger. This year’s walk starts and ends at the Hillsdale Food Park on SW Capitol Highway at the entrance to Ida B. Wells High School. The organizers ask you to respect the wishes of others in your walking party regarding the wearing of masks. Friendly, well-controlled dogs are welcome.
Find route details at the SW Trails website.

Relax and Enjoy the Show
To round out the official start to the holiday season, there are still a few tickets left (as of this writing) for The Portland Ballet's show "The Enchanted Toyshop." The showpiece ballet of this homegrown company is back after a 5-year hiatus.
