“The One Where We Played in the Snow” – Champaign-Urbana Weekend Planner

February 17, 2021 By From The Editors

WP Header Feb 19

This weekend should go down as “the one where we played in the snow” when we look back on this winter, so make plans to make the most of it now.

 

Load up on hot cocoa, mini marshmallows and pull out all the cozy blankets as you prepare for this weekend full of epic snow play mixed in with fabulous family fun thanks to a growing-by-the-week list of events happening for Champaign-Urbana area families

We don’t know if it is something about the season, the fact that we’ve been at this for nearly a year, OR the sheer fact that Champaign-Urbana simply rocks… but whatever the reason, there are SO many events happening in town this weekend for you to consider joining. The events currently on our event calendar can be described in three general buckets:

  • virtual events (such as ones held on Zoom)
  • in-person events (growing in number with every week that goes by)
  • hybrid events, such as ones where you drive-through or pick up supplies to do an activity at home on your own or on a virtual platform

We’re seeing more and more events pop up as local organizations and businesses pivot (yes, we’re tired of that word, too but it’s truly what’s happening) and get creative.


chambanamoms.com thanks Christie Clinic for presenting this week’s weekend planner

Thanks to Christie Clinic for sponsoring this weekend’s planner. Christie Clinic Department of Dermatology offers a variety of cosmetic services and products that can help restore your skin’s appearance and renew your self-confidence. Did you see their live demonstration on how to give yourself a facial at home? Their professional medical team is here to help you with all of your skincare needs. During February enjoy 15% off all laser packages. Call 217.366.1248 to schedule your appointment and take advantage of this sweetheart of a deal.


Now if you’re looking for ways to enjoy the snow in your free time, we have some things to point you towards as you plan. If you plan to go sledding, get our list of hills here. For other options on outdoor fun, like where to find ice skating, the best places for a winter hike and more, check out this post on having the ultimate outdoor winter. This weather is perfect for it!
