"Whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something."
Sandra Day O'Connor
As people across the region gather to celebrate Thanksgiving this week with family and friends it's not hard to see how closely knit our lives can be. From education to the economy to the environment, we all depend on each other more and more — even when we have to quarantine at home or stay six feet apart in public.
As we continue to safely go about enjoying all that our region has to offer, we realize our actions affect others because we are a world woven together like a large tapestry. Keep that in mind as you explore museums, art galleries, our quaint small towns, outdoor dining, and find special events and more things to do in the County Line eMagazine.
Our Things To Do and Events sections encourage safe activities in the region — from outdoor dining to spacious galleries and museums. While you're out exploring, share the good news about one of the region's best resources — the County Line eMagazine. — Lisa Tang
