Another weekend, another new month. Winter keeps rolling onward as we usher in February

Families can choose from a myriad of events and activities this weekend in Champaign-Urbana

We can’t believe it, but we have turned the page to another new month. February is here and it is time to plan for Valentine’s Day, as events and activities are starting to pop up around town this weekend. February also marks Black History Month, and we have a compilation of events here. It is way too early to be thinking about spring, but with the weather warming, we just can’t help to get excited for warmer weather around the corner. The darkest days of the year are over and it is just going to keep getting brighter from here!
