We have enjoyed this beautiful snow and all the fun we've had playing in it, but after being home for four days, I am ready to get back to the land of the living. There is much to do, from live theatre to fundraisers, fashion shows, even fried catfish. I hope you didn't spend your last dollar on milk and bread earlier this week, because there are tickets to be purchased and fun to be had.
1. February 20-March 1 2015, Halifax County Little Theatre presents “Over the River and
Through the Woods” at the Prizery in South Boston, Virginia. This heartwarming,

Woods" opens this Friday night at the Prizery, and runs for 7 shows over
the next two weekends. Purchase tickets at the Prizery, 700 Bruce Street, South

backgrounds and all circumstances that have left them in danger. The Burpees

for themselves.

There you have it. Eight good reasons to get out out of the house this week. The parking lots should be good and shoveled by this weekend, so trade in your snow shoes for your kitten heels (they're back, you know) and hopefully I'll see you out and about. If you know of an event happening anywhere in Southern Virginia or neighboring area that I left off my list, please leave it in the comments below. Have a great week. Enjoy a glass of local wine for me.
