Shout-Out:

Columbia Patch freelance writer David Pecor popped into the Fairway Hills golf course Thursday to take some fall foliage picture, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating.

Assistant Manager Eddie Stup gave Pecor the use of a golf cart and free range of the course, which resulted in some great pictures of golfers out enjoying what was probably one of the last few nice golfing days of the season.

Thanks, Eddie!

Thanksgiving Stories Needed:

Patch editors are collecting stories about Thanksgiving.

We want your stories about what makes Thanksgiving special for you and your family. Maybe you have a longstanding tradition; maybe you have a favorite craft, centerpiece or recipe that you make every year; maybe you travel to a distant relative's house each year; maybe you are the family's go-to turkey carver.

If you're willing, we'd love you to share your story with your neighbors.
