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. Perhaps instead you feel like getting mellow with your kids and stretching out your shoveling muscles.

You might all be feeling the need for some meditative time this weekend after last weekend’s doozy of a snow storm. If so, head over to Artemis Yoga on Saturday afternoon for a few free introductory classes. They can help you work out the kinks in your back from too much shoveling. Taking in an exhibition of art with the theme Contemporary Landscapes, might also be calming. The opening reception is on Thursday, but the show will be up until March, so it will be there for your enjoyment this weekend.
