Banks Post Around Town 6 briefs Wednesday, November 11, 2026✦Daily roundup OUTDOORS Hagg Lake ornament hunt runs Saturdays through Nov. 28 Washington County Parks is running a scavenger hunt for ornaments on the Hagg Lake trails this month, with clues posted on its Instagram and Facebook pages each Saturday, according to its Trail Treasures page. Each of the first three Saturdays, Nov. 7, 14 and 21, gets five clues, for 15 ceramic birds in all made by local artist Gwyneth Manley. On the last Saturday, Nov. 28, one clue points to 20 wooden woodland creature ornaments designed and donated by local maker Pam Lewis. Finders keep what they find, and the county asks each household to take home only one ornament. Nothing is hidden anywhere that requires climbing or digging, and searchers are asked to stay on trails.

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

Your friend is forty minutes late. Can the restaurant give away their chair?

A busy restaurant seats your group only after everyone arrives. One friend is forty minutes late and keeps texting that they are almost there. A couple waiting nearby could use the empty place, and the server asks your group to order without them.

How long should one person's delay control everyone else's evening?
