Hail No! And Where to Go

What the hail? Was it really hailing the other night or are we just going crazy? In the midst of driving about town our minivan was pelted with hail stones as lightning flashed in the sky before us. This weather, dear readers, is pure March Madness.

However, do not despair because the weekend is here so hail and farewell to work and get your weekend on! One event About Town encourages everyone to attend is Fort Lee High School’s performance of “The King and I” this weekend. Shows are Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the high school on Lemoine Ave. Come out and support our talented thespians.

Looking for more? Well we’ve got it for you here—from dog walks to craft shows. If you know of an event going on in the area that we haven’t listed please share it with us.
