Block parties and Beetlejuice Jr.

It’s a new month with new things to do!

Here’s a few calendar items that interested me. I though to include Craft nights at the La Mesa Library but they already have a waiting list, so they’re not included in our calendar.

Beetlejuice Jr. 🥬 🎹

Theater for Young Professionals is producing the junior version of the hit musical “Beetlejuice” through Nov. 16. Tickets start at $17.30, but they’re going fast. The only day left is the 2 and 6 p.m. showing on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 7960 University Ave., Suite 240.

Fun Friday with Kathryn the Grape 🍇🎤

Local musician Kathryn the Grape will be in Grossmont Center Courtyard on Friday, Nov. 14, at 10 a.m. for an interactive children’s show.

130th Block Party ⛪🥳

Happy 130th birthday to La Mesa First United Methodist Church! The church at 4690 Palm Ave. next to the Village is hosting a block party after its special Sunday service on Sunday, Nov. 16, from 10:30 a.m. until 3 p.m.

La Mesa Conversations Holiday Party 🍕💬

Join the La Mesa Conversations board and your friends and neighbors at their annual holiday party on Thursday, Nov. 20, from 6-8 p.m. at Surf Rider Pizza in the Village. In addition to free pizza and hanging out, attendees can give input on next year’s agenda for the civic engagement organization, such as campaign finance reform and the Climate Action Plan.

Also no one participated in last week’s haunted house contest. I can’t tell if I made it too hard, it was too boring or the shoutouts weren’t incentive enough to participate. I also know not every subscriber lives in La Mesa’s boundaries. Let me know at drew@sdnews.com what would motivate you or what other games you’d like to see here.
