THIS MONTH WE GIVE THANKS AS WE ENJOY THANKSGIVING
WITH FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES
This month we have 2 Holidays
November 11: Veterans Day, which honors Military Veterans
November 27: Thanksgiving
November also marks the end of Daylight Savings time and observances like Native American Heritage Month. It also includes various awareness months, such as Men’s Health Awareness Month and Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, and the beginning of the Advent season. The month often marks a seasonal transition to cooler weather and shorter days in the Northern Hemisphere.
November was named for the Latin word “novem,” meaning “nine,” because it was the ninth month in the early Roman calendar. It’s also the month when the first president, John Adams, moved into the White House in 1800.
In November, you can explore local attractions in and around Chaffee, such as:
- Rock ‘N’ Roll Drive-In: Enjoy a classic drive-in movie experience
For more outdoor options, visit nearby parks like:
- Little Grand Canyon: Hike and explore this scenic area near Chaffee
If you’re open to a longer drive, consider a trip to state parks in other parts of Missouri, such as:
- Ha Ha Tonka State Park
- Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park
