Hello Sockmonkeys!

It's time for the official Midway Pie Day and Mug Exchange announcement post.

New to the region and/or group and not sure what that means? Well, it's a fun event that was started to help celebrate reaching the middle of November novel writing and, even though the event that prompted it is no longer going on, it's a fun tradition we're trying to continue. If you'd like to see a bit more about it, feel free to click here to see other posts with photos and descriptions from past events.

You are not required to bring a mug, there are usually a few extra, but it is fun if you can.  The mug you bring can be new or gently used, please wrap it in some fashion (plain paper bag is fine!). You are also not required to bring food. This is just meant to be a fun event for our community.

Date: Saturday, November 14th, 2026

Time: 1 - 3 p.m.

Place: Graham Pierce County Library Meeting Room

For those who are ill or otherwise unable to attend, if you'd like to attend virtually, the event will be video streamed into a dedicated channel in our Regional Discord server. Masks are welcome and encouraged but not required.

Numbers for the mug exchange are drawn about halfway through the event, so even if you arrive a little after things start, you'll still be able to participate.

I hope you'll be able to join us for some or all of the event.

P.S. I did also mention this in the last event post, but I'll post another reminder before the official post is up: Our End of Year Potluck and Blind Book Exchange is also already on the calendar. It is set for Saturday, December 5th from 1 - 3 p.m. Location is shown on our Google calendar on that date if you'd like to check that out in advance of the blog post going up.
