5 Great Ways in Orland to Celebrate Valentine’s Day: Patch Picks

Valentine’s Day needs variety. Sure you can attempt gourmet cooking, cover your house with rose pedals and light candles all over the place. But you can also spend time with your loved one out in the town, where there is no clean up or risk of burning your house down from either the candles or the cooking.  

With your well being in mind, this week’s Patch Picks is suggesting ways to spend time with your special someone on Valentine’s Day. And come back next week, because every Thursday at 3 p.m., we will offer a list of events, specials, places to go for assorted enjoyment and things to do with your time.
