I love how our community is coming together and many businesses are jumping on Facebook to provide FREE opportunities for all ages. While there are many, many, many events – I am going to try to keep this list to events taking place daily. It can start to get a bit overwhelming trying to decide what to do or what not to do and keeping up with all the different schedules. By doing a list of what is happening each day, my hope is don’t necessarily have to write it down and remember it. If you’re looking for something to do, jump on here and see what is happening! Casual, no pressure.
