Happening This Weekend - 1/5/2018

The temp won't go above 18 degrees this weekend. Stay warm!  Despite this - it's time to get out of the house, and because you took our advice last year and got the most amazing Dig Out Winter Boots at Mountain Tops, you are ready for anything! The sidewalks are shoveled, the sun is shining (for now). If you're battling the cold or flu that gripped everyone during the Winter Break, we have brewed up a tea for sick folks. Pick up the simple ingredients from a shops in a three-store radius. And now, onto the things going on this weekend or starting mid-week...
