The Chatham Armoury will be lit this holiday season.

The building will be lit up again with Christmas-themed projections like last year, but it will now be a drive-in event with a longer show.

The Armoury in Lights will run from December 14-20 with shows at 5:30pm, 7:30pm and 9:30pm each night. Although it is free, pre-registration is required.

The L.A. Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 3-1 last night, to win the World Series four games to two.

The Dodgers are champions for the first time in 32 years, they lost the 2017 and 2018 World Series. It’s their 7th World Series win as a franchise.

Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was removed in the eighth inning after testing positive for COVID-19, which seemed appropriate given this crazy season. Apparently, a lab was reviewing test results during the game, and as soon as the positive test was noticed, they alerted MLB, which had the Dodgers pull Turner. Naturally, Turner was not with his teammates as they celebrated, and supposedly everyone on the team was tested when they returned to the hotel. There’s no word if anyone else was infected, but Turner says he’s feeling fine.

L.A. has now won two championships in the era of the coronavirus. The L.A. Lakers won the NBA title earlier this month.

Play-Doh just announced a brand new product line: Play-Doh for Grown Ups.

It’s just like regular Play-Doh, but it comes in adult scents called Overpriced Latte, Mom Jeans, Dad Sneakers, Spa Day, Lord Of The Lawn and Grill King.

The people at Hasbro say those smells are meant to be things that make adults happy. A survey last year found Play-Doh is the number one toy parents also used when they were kids.

If you’re interested, the Play-Doh is already on sale, and the six-pack of scents is just $12, but it’s starting to sell out, so buy yours fast. Order here.

An Instagram account devoted to miserable husbands on shopping trips is blowing up.

The Instagram account is called Miserable_Men. And it’s all pictures of men looking bored, or even falling asleep on shopping trips.

The account is really starting to get popular now and it’s up to more than 346,000 followers. And if you’ve got a good photo to share, they take submissions.
