#PlanAhead: Week of January 16-19, 2018

This week marks the 35th anniversary of officially celebrating MLK Day across the globe and here in Cola. It’s a week based on coming together to celebrate an icon and to help make our city an even better place to be.

And that’s really rad. There’s lots going on around Columbia on top of the MLK events, so get ready for a great week.
