Best Bets for Oct. 14-16 | THE BAINBRIDGE BLAB

Pumpkins + indigenous art + detective stories.

Mona Lisa with a mask, baskets based on stereotypes, a beaded Grandmother Moon: BIMA’s new “Native Hands” exhibit offers tribal traditions with a twist. Explore the show, and five other fall/winter additions, Saturday from 2 p.m.

Bainbridge Gardens’ Pumpkin Walk has yet to be cancelled. Better check the website before you head into the monsoon. Should the skies part, however, it’d be in your best interest to check out the luminous display of carved jack-o’-lanterns 6 to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Celebrity sighting. Alexander McCall Smith, the best-selling author of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency books, presents his 17th installment of the Botswana-based series at the Bainbridge High School Commons at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Those who preorder the book via Eagle Harbor Book Company get first dibs on book signings.
