Weekend Roundup: Jan. 6-9, 2022
Welcome to 2022!
It’s our first full weekend of the New Year! We had a great holiday break and are ready to take on 2022! This is always one of the slowest weeks of the year, BUT we found a few events for you to enjoy! Another reason it’s a slow week is due to the surge of the Omicron Variant. Please stay home if you are feeling sick.
