This week brings a great mix of community happenings, from playdates and library programs to art receptions, wellness events, and a few fun ways to plan ahead for Valentine’s Day. With the Big Game coming up this weekend and lots going on around town, it’s a good week to lock in a few plans. If you’re heading out in the evenings, a light jacket will go a long way with these cool nights.
