And just like that, it’s November. Time flies when you’re having fun! We’ve got a roundup of the best things to do for yourself or with the people you love this month. For even more recs, listen to our November guide on our City Cast Salt Lake podcast.

🐄 Cow Cuddles

Election got you stressed out? Cuddle a cow in Spanish Fork — this is not a drill, people! Fold of Liberty Farms has Scottish Highland cows (you know, those emo-looking cows with hair in their face) that you can meet, walk with, and, yes, even snuggle.

⚡ Harry Potter in Concert

If you’re a self-proclaimed Potterheard (or know someone who is) don’t miss the Utah Symphony’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” in Concert. The live orchestra will bring the soundtrack to life alongside the film, a perfect thing to do with family or friends before the holiday season. It’s happening Nov. 7-9 at Abravanel Hall. Tickets are going quick, so scoop ‘em up while you can!

💃 Rec Center Fitness Classes

Find your nearest rec center and get your body movin’! I started going to Zumba classes at my neighborhood rec center, and it’s everything I could ever want:

• A group fitness class, which always motivates me ‘cause competition.
• Exercise but make it silly, ‘cause girls just wanna have fun.
