It’s that time of year again and I’m starting to feel the panic. Better get shopping! This weekend you can shop for everyone on your list and enjoy a festive tree lighting celebration.
This Saturday, November 17, is Ridge Hill’s first Annual Tree Lighting Event and it’s going to be quite a party. Starting at 5pm enjoy live entertainment, giveaways and Santa arrives at 6pm to light the tree. Feeling lucky? Guess how many lights are on the tree and you could win a $1,000 Ridge Hill Gift Card! Westchester’s Ridge Hill: One Ridge Hill Boulevard, Yonkers
Visit the Greenburgh Nature Center on Saturday, November 17 to see their puppet show “Autumnal Adventures” at 11am and 1pm. The animals are busy frolicking in the leaves and preparing for winter.

There are lots of fun activities this weekend at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture. Kids ages 5-10 can sign up for Stone Barns Center “Kids in the Kitchen” this Saturday.

Also at Stone Barns this Saturday, don’t miss the Turkey Herding Demonstration at 4pm!
