Yes, the end of January is near. Cue the curtain call, another month is in the past. Friends, we’ll state our case, which we’re certain. There will be plenty of events in the area to help take your mind off this transitioning and snow-filled time.
Turning Stone is offering specials to keep you inside and the Fairgrounds features an expo for the necessities to protect you from seasonal elements. Get a new tattoo, enjoy some brews or laugh your butt off, but not all at the same time. Listen to some great tunes or tales of inspiration.
Whichever routes you choose, stay positive and have fun!
