What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Current October calendar lists Wednesday October 21; 2026 weekday alignment confirmed. No end time or numeric age inferred. Inventory not tested. YEAR REVIEW: event date line omits numeric year. Current seasonal-exhibitions page explicitly labels ArBOOretum Month October 1–31, 2026 and current October homepage links this event; assigning this specific day to 2026 also uses weekday alignment. This is a documented inference; confirm with organizer before attendance.
