Write a concise weekend planner piece for Bartow in October that features three local events: a Polk County BiggerPockets Networking Dinner, a Polk Nursery & Garden Center public event, and the Vintage Ceramic Christmas Tree Workshop. For each, include the date, time, location, a one-sentence why-it-matters line (networking, gardening, or hands-on craft), and a practical tip (what to bring or ticket status). Use a micro-guide structure with a weekend-by-weekend calendar vibe, add a quick “What to bring” checklist, and finish with two actionable CTAs (RSVP/Notify me) and a brief note highlighting local flavor of the venues. Keep the tone practical, welcoming, and community-focused.
