#PlanAhead Guide: February 19-23, 2018
Move over Valentine’s Day, because it’s President’s Day; and another great week in Columbia. Get out your powdered wigs and head to the Woodrow Wilson Family Home to celebrate president-style. Later, go watch some Gamecock baseball, or go try out some special on tap beers at Craft & Draft.
With free yoga and a Beatles tribute concert on Thursday, it’s safe to say that I will be thriving all day. 🎸
