It’s Almost Too Much

Friends, it is one of those famously busy-busy-busy weekends in Columbia/HoCo. What follows is only a taste. 

Leading off with Old Ellicott City, it’s: Mardi Gras on Main!

Join the festive frenzy taking over Main Street at Noon on Saturday February 10th, for the ultimate Mardi Gras mask scavenger hunt! Embark on a lively adventure to find the hidden masks at more than 30 locations up and down the street and claim your beads – while supplies last, of course! Stop by the Welcome Center to get your treasure map to unveil the participating locations and to search for your first mask.

This morning, at 10:30, the Howard County Dads group is meeting up at Millie Bailey Park for their monthly Lap Around the Lake.

Looks like a great day to head to the playground! See you all at 10:30 for Lap Around the Lake.

And don’t forget the all-weekend soup celebration at Clarksville Commons. I’m determined to get out there today. By now my love of soup is fairly well-known. 

Also today, a celebration of Chinese Lunar New Year at the Mall in Columbia. The event begins at one pm.

Celebrate the Year of the Dragon with us at the Columbia Mall on February 10th, 2024, during our annual Lunar New Year celebration. This festive event promises a tapestry of performances, interactive activities for the whole family, and the chance to connect with the vital organizations that support and nurture our vibrant AAPI Community.

The Young Republicans of Howard County are hosting an event called “Celebrating the Legacy of Harriet Tubman” beginning today at 11 am at the Harriet Tubman School and Cultural Center. I do not know if you need to be a Young Republican to attend. Honestly, I know nothing about this event but I continue to be grateful that our community has the Harriet Tubman Center as a resource for all. 

Tonight’s the night for that Anti-Love event at Daniels Restaurant in Elkridge. I still wonder if a few romances are born there despite the evening’s theme. That might make for a great premise for one of those Hallmark movies.

Tomorrow is jam-packed with various Super Bowl-oriented events but you’re on your own there. I’m not a football person so I’ll trust you to make your own plans. I am rather fond of the Puppy Bowl and Kitty Half Time Show but, strangely enough, there don’t seem to be any local watching parties at area venues. A lost opportunity, say I.

Got plans for today? Have I missed anything major? Let me know.
