Every Monday, we post The Five Best Things to enjoy in the upcoming week. These things are selected by the Plum TV staff and often times by you.

They range from humble to haute and include exciting events, festivals and performances as well as dining, shopping and playing at various treasured spots, shops and institutions.

PLAY

2) Ski season is right around the corner, and if you're anything like us, you need a little refresher course to get ready! The BCRD is hosting a Nordic Dryland Training series meant to make the transition back into skiing more enjoyable by developing techniques, muscles, and knowledge that are all crucial to our beloved sport! Instructed by Tessa Westbrook and EJ Harpham, it's sure to be a fun & informative pre-ski season workout that will have you all set to hit the slopes! Classes are on Tuesdays through November 17 and Thursdays through November 9 at the Community Campus South Fields.

EXPERIENCE

3) And now onto the HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES! Back for its 4th year is the Hailey Halloween Hoopla, from 3-6:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 31. This super popular event offers kids a safe (and fun!) trick or treating experience in the downtown business district. Just look for bunches of orange & black balloons, and know that candy isn't far away! There's also the Costume Contest at the Liberty Theater, beginning at 4 p.m., the Meriwether Building's Haunted Kitchen at 3 p.m., and the Mint Promenade's Haunted House from 3-6:30 p.m. So much to do, so little time to get all the candy!
