Handy Note for Our Readers
Local calendars are still updating — confirming times and locations before publishing ensures accuracy, because many January events get added closer to the weekend. Enjoy the your weekend!
If there is anything you’d like me to add to the newsletter, just reply and let me know! I will be starting to post in the special events tab on the website the closer we get to Spring. I want to start spotlighting local businesses, so if there ones you think should be in the spotlight, again, just reply.
