Parents and families visited with their Obies the weekend of November 3-5. A full slate of programming included performances and lectures, a trivia night at the Cat in the Cream, Shabbat services at Chabad, and the opera theater production "Albert Herring." Visitors even got to experience a dusting of snow.
