February’s First Weekend of CNY Fun

If the cold start to February has got you down, take a look at this list of CNY fun to warm your body and spirits.

Happy February! A little bit of history repeating: It’s Groundhog Day. Phil saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. However, here are several fun CNY (indoor) activities to help you stay warm and enjoy winter. Despite a mild January, it’s going to be a cold weekend. Dinosaurs stomp into the fairgrounds, and the adult ones will enjoy the nearby CNY Brewfest. There is yet another eclectic music lineup. Magic, juggling and acrobatics will be set to soundtracks. And there is much more! Have a great one!
