Cheers to another springtime weekend spent in Cola. I’m so excited to finally attend my first ever Columbia Fireflies game + enjoy the Cola rays (with a hot dog in one hand + an ice cream in the other, of course). This Saturday, you’ll catch me at the 6th Annual Rosé Festival at Vino Garage. And don’t forget about The Masters – you can watch a few rounds while playing with some pups this Sunday at Jake’s on Devine, and all proceeds will benefit local no-kill animal shelter PETSInc.

Have a great weekend, y’all.
