“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.” – Mary Shelley. Here are today’s scary events:

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

“We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” – Bob Ross. The Courthouse Center for the Arts is looking for art submissions for a December show. For more information, click here.

Whoooooooosh! On this day in 1961, the Saturn 1 rocket was tested.

Easy sewing that sings. Happy birthday to Isaac Singer! I mean, sure, he died in 1875, but he was a pretty cool inventor.
