• It’s that time of year again. The Brandywine River Museum of Art begins the holiday season with Holidays & Snowdays: Illustrations for Three Children’s Books Saturday, Nov. 3 through Sunday, Jan. 6.

James Ransome sets a traditional holiday story in the jazz-inspired Harlem of the 1920s with his illustrations for The Nutcracker in Harlem, written by T.E. McMorrow. And Matthew Trueman depicts an unlikely twosome to illustrate the spirit of Hanukkah with his illustrations for Simon and the Bear, a Hanukkah Tale, written by Eric A. Kimmel.
• This is the last weekend for the Philadelphia Eagles Maze at Hurricane Hill Farm in West Bradford Township. Stop out one last time for a stroll through the Eagles corn maze and take a hayride. Enjoy the fresh air and hopefully some fall sunshine. This year's maze was a salute to our world champion Philadelphia Eagle. There is a game in the maze that is similar to a "scavenger hunt." Try to find the nine-story boards and nine coloring boards while learning about football and our Eagles.

The maze is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 3 and 4. Admission is $12 per person. For more information, call Hurricane Hill Farm at 484-999-4600. The farm is located at 704 E.
