Current Events Week of 2/23/15
It's not that it can't still be cold after February leaves us, but the hibernating that Ocracokers do each year will be pretty much over by the Ides of March…. check out the Current calendar for next month – spring is on its way and businesses are starting to open! We'll keep you posted about who and where and when.
Meanwhile, not much is going on this week, but if we hear of anything, we'll add it to this page….
