Little reminder before the hard freezes settle in.

Unhook your garden hoses from the outside faucets. A hose left connected can trap water in the line, and that's how a lot of frozen and split pipes happen around here.

If you have foam faucet covers, now's a good time to put them on. If your outside lines have a shutoff valve, turn it off and drain them.

Takes five minutes and can save you a plumber call in January.

What else is on your winter prep list?

If you want someone plowing your driveway this winter, now is the time to book them. The good snow removal companies fill their routes before the first real storm, and after that you're on a waiting list.

If you already have someone you love, tag them so your neighbors can find them too.

You don't hear it enough, so we'll say it. We notice, and we appreciate you.

If a small business owner made your life easier this year, tag them below so they see it.

Sunday history question.

When Spokane hosted the world's fair in 1974, it did something no world's fair had ever done before. What was it?

Hint: look at the river.

Guess in the comments. Answer tomorrow.

If you're grabbing candy, costumes, or party food this weekend, think about doing it at a local shop instead of the big box store.

A quick note on why we only allow local businesses in Spokane's Favorite.

When you hire a local company, the person who answers the phone probably lives a few miles from you. The money stays here. They coach the same youth teams and shop at the same stores. And if something goes wrong, you know where to find them.

The national companies are fine. They just don't need our help getting found.
