Oh sweet weekend, how I've yearned for you all week long. My big plans including some couples bowling tonight (in a real bowling alley, not Wii!) followed by some attempts at yard work on Saturday. Lounging, relaxing and whathaveyou to follow.
Now that we've reached the month of March, events will begin to bloom - even if the flowers haven't started quite yet. Out of hibernation we emerge for wine tours, live music, new happy hour specials and more. Keep your eyes tunes to my blog and my column for all the treats spring has to offer.
Appalachian Brewing Company is a venue that keeps busy year-round, but March is extra-hopping for them, too. Click here for a chance to win a $25 gift card to ABC, good on food and brews.
