Happy Win Stuff Wednesday! We’ve somehow made it to the very last day of September, and I genuinely don’t know where that month went. But I do know I’ve got free stuff to give away, so at least we’re ending it on a high note.

The Giveaway Fairy also showed up with something tasty today. Dine the Couve is back for October with restaurants around Vancouver serving special three-item menus for $35 or $50, and we’re giving away a $50 gift card to the participating restaurant of your choice! Enter to win, then let’s see what else Wednesday has for us.*

WHENEVER

WHEN YOUR PET NEEDS TO BORROW 10 GRAND

Table legs get scratched up like they owe the cat money. Shoes are dragged under the couch like the mob disposing of a “package.” These are routine costs of pet ownership; a $10,000 surprise emergency surgery is not. Unfortunately, things DO happen, and you most assuredly DO want to be prepared for them. Pet insurance can help you offset some of these costs by providing up to 90% reimbursement, with plans starting at $10/month. Click below to find the right plan before your animal invents a new way to bankrupt you.*

LOCALS ONLY

• Portland Nursery is taking care of the mess at its 3rd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party this October. Pick out a pumpkin at either SE Portland location and they’ll provide the carving tools, paint pens, and decorations—you just have to show up and get creative.

• Hollywood Farmers Market is celebrating the season with its second annual Harvest Festival this Saturday. Stop by for fresh-pressed apple cider, live music, pumpkin painting, and plenty of peak-season produce to stock up on for winter.
