This Weekend: Stay active February 8 – 10

Love is in the air this weekend. Oh sure, Valentine’s Day isn’t until the end of next week, but if you like to get out and be active with your sweetie, this is a great time to do it. You can do a 5K, ice skate, ski, snowboard, or snowshoe. What’s that? No sweetie to do things with? No problem. Get out and be active anyway. What have you got to lose?
