February is such a busy month in our area! If you don’t want to stay inside and hibernate from the weather, there are plenty of things to do just outside your own home. Highly anticipated events this month range from Mother/Son and Father/Daughter Dances at the Betty Queen Center to jewelry making classes, concerts, stand-up comedy and even the Ringling Bros. circus! And, don’t forget the 8th Annual “Death By Chocolate” event to benefit the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation and Lake Anna Rescue Squad. So, get out and have some fun this February! February is also Black History Month.
