Your #PlanAhead Guide: February 5-9, 2018
Time to get out of your Bill Murray-esque Groundhog Day slump and forget that we have six more weeks of winter ahead of us (ugh). Instead, let’s focus on all the rad stuff going on around Columbia this week. Get ready for some awesome Richland Library workshops, like retro gaming hour + a knitting class (why, yes, I actually am really excited for this – thank you for asking) and River Rat’s Oyster Roast to top off the week.
