Let’s celebrate that this snowy February is almost behind us, a month to remember. To get your ya-yas out, you could go drink and sing at Karaoke this Friday night at the Mighty Squirrel Taproom. Or Saturday afternoon, you might head to the library to join our Asian neighbors celebrating the Lunar New Year. If you are in a competitive frame of mind, there is a cribbage tournament on Sunday afternoon at the Ancient Order of the Hibernians.
