November is the month for harvests of both cannabis and food crops alike.
In Texas, November is the month to harvest beets, spinach, tomatoes and broccoli. Soon, hopefully, it will be time to legally harvest your homegrown, as well. Until then there are plenty of events taking place in the 512.
This month is for being thankful, which many kids in Austin Texas are, thanks to a special fundraising event called the Austin Empty Bowl Project. The Empty Bowl program began in Michigan. Since then it’s spread across the country. The Austin Empty Bowl Project started in 1997 and has raised over $700,000 to help feed children in low-income families throughout the city. This year’s event is being held on November 22nd from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Marchesa Hall & Theater at the Linc, directly across from the Highland Mall in Austin.
First Wednesday of the Month Event Hosted by NORML
Be sure to go out and join Texas NORML for a fun-filled night of education on the cannabis industry. You can be part of a great night filled with comedy, culture, and music too. The meetings are hosted at the Flamingo Cantina at 515 East 6th Street, Austin. Bring your appetite for knowledge and desire to be a part of this significant movement.
