Hello! February has lots of things to do!

The Front Porch Newsletter

February 2025

Hello Pud,

We've run the gamut from beautiful, sunny days that promise spring, to bone-chilling cold these past few weeks and there's likely more of the same to come. So, if cabin fever has gotten to you, here's a list of things to do in our community through the month of February and into early March.

One thing to note: Should there be cold and icy weather, some events that I have listed here may be cancelled or postponed. Check the links or Facebook pages to be sure before you head out.

And please, please remember to Shop Small and support our locally owned retail businesses and restaurants - especially when planning your Valentine's Day celebrations and gifts. They are worth your support!
