Good Morning Everyone
I have been hearing a lot of people saying there is nothing to do, it's cold out, all the time now and not many people go out, you don't want to bundle up and so on.
Well I can't deny that it is not cold out but there is definitely always something you can do with family, friends, or even your loved one. Remember you can always view our monthly events through our "What's Happening" link at the top and download and/or print the monthly calendar of events to see what's going on in your area.
Today I am letting you know of some local events put on for a good reason at a good cause.
