"Who remembers the DSTP?"

Every Delaware kid who sat through the DSTP is getting flashbacks from this one, me included.

Art Loop Wilmington, with a stop at Jester Artspace

Art Loop Wilmington runs the first Friday of every month, and November's is Friday, Nov 6, from 5 to 8. It's free and self-guided, so pick a few galleries and wander. A shuttle runs 5:30 to 8:30 from The Delaware Contemporary. One stop I'd make is Jester Artspace at 2818 Grubb Road, where the members' show "Connected" has a reception from 5:30 to 7:30. Grab the map, start at the shuttle, and see where it takes you. IN Wilmington

The Cecil County Arts Council's Photography and Digital Art Show

The Cecil County Arts Council's annual Photography and Digital Art Show goes up Friday, Nov 6, at its gallery at 135 East Main Street in Elkton. It's on view through Nov 20, weekdays 10 to 4 and Saturdays 10 to 2. The opening reception is Friday, Nov 13, from 5 to 8, with refreshments and live music. It's the kind of show where you'll recognize half the places in the pictures. And if you go, read this week's Deep cut before you walk Main Street.

Pumpkins and bonfire nights at Ramsey's Farm

Ramsey's Farm, at 440 Ramsey Road, has its pumpkin patch and fall activities going every weekend through Nov 8. Walking the patch is free, and pumpkins are 80 cents a pound. The farm market is open Thursday through Sunday, 9 to 6. On Friday and Saturday nights through Nov 14 there are bonfire nights from 6 to 9 (get in by 7:30), $15 for anyone 4 and up. On Halloween the bonfires are private bookings only, so plan on the next weekend. Bring a wagon if you're going big on pumpkins.
