So, more exciting stuff at TheJHub.com, eh? If you missed it, our first print edition ran Sunday (a page in the Variety section of the Idaho State Journal), and they'll continue to run each week. The feature content submitted by you guys, so don't be suprised if I contact you asking to use something you've written.
This weekend is Oktoberfest at Portneuf Valley Brewing, which TheJHub.com is proud to be sponsoring. There's still time to win free tickets - and, just for you blog readers, all you have to do to enter is comment on this post. I'll choose nine winners at the beginning of the day tomorrow.
In other exciting news, the huge success of our first photo contest has inspired us to launch monthly photo contest. Look for the first of them starting Oct. 1 (I'm taking theme suggestions, by the way, so if you've got one throw it out there).
I love to see the group here growing every day. The coolest part is, we've got people from all walks of life on here. It's great to read different perspectives and get to know other people. It'll only get better as TheJHub.com continues to grow, so spread the word to everyone you know.

In non-JHUB related news, I'm amped up for the start of fall. Even if it is a little chilly, I love the turning leaves, the harvest season, the anticipation of the holidays, and the candy of Halloween. I'm really hoping we get trick-or-treaters at our house this year. I've never really gotten to hand out candy before, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Toward the end of the month I'm taking a weekend trip to my hometown, Spokane, to do our yearly apple-picking with my family. It's been a favorite tradition of mine since I was really little, so I'm looking forward to it.

Speaking of traditions, I have a favor to ask you all: My family is coming to spend Thanksgiving with me in Pocatello this year. I'm thrilled to have them, but the fact that they're coming here means they're missing out on some other day-after-Thanksgiving traditions (dim sum in Chinatown in San Francisco, shopping at Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane). So here's my question - what, in your opinion, is the best thing to do in Pocatello on the day after Thanksgiving? I'm looking for all kinds of ideas, so let me know what you've got.
