It’s going to be a cold week next week, so get out on Saturday while you can and enjoy this amazing area. The trees are full of snow and everything looks amazing!
There are some particularly great events to pay attention to. KMS presents the musical Madagascar, there is a Pie event at the West Woods, a Chili cookoff at the Bummin’ Beaver, puzzle competition at the library, and the official ribbon cutting for Glow Sticks!
For those that are interested the League of Women Votes is having a session on how laws are made at the library. The LWV always does a great job with their events, so it is sure to be educational!
Stay warm and have a fantastic week!
