Hello, Washington County! 🎉
There’s not a lot happening mid week, but that must be because we’re supposed to rest up for the WILD amount of events happening this weekend. You’ll see on Thursday when the next newsletter comes out 👀 In the meantime, get cozy, enjoy the rain, head out for an event or two, and rest up for the weekend.
I’m looking to partner with some local businesses! If you love this community and want to be featured in the Compass, check out this page ☺️
Always check the event source before heading out, as details can change last minute. I collect events and create this list by hand, so events aren’t automatically updated if there’s a change.
✅ means it’s a free event. If you’re enjoying a free event at a spot with food or drinks, show some love by supporting the venue!
