It’s February! The month where resolutions fizzle out, chocolate consumption goes up exponentially around the 14th, and you realize you only have a few weekends of glorious skiing before the spring breakers hit the slopes.

Some refer to February as a “doldrums” kind of month because we’re deep in winter. But we disagree – we have all kinds of fun activities planned, and our Stepping Stone calendar proves it! From coloring between the lines, racing heartbeats across Twenty Mile Road, or breaking out your roller skate dance moves, we have your February adventures covered!

Also, since February is the month of Valentine’s Day, don’t forget to plan a romantic outing with that “special someone.” Snag a table for two at the Parker Garage or take it to the next level with downtown ice skating and horse-drawn carriage rides. We have all kinds of suggestions for you lovebirds – if you need help just ask.
