Teen Completes Trail in Goldens Bridge, Art Center Open House

1. Check out new trail: A.J. Goncalves completes Eagle Scout Project

At a recent K-L school board meeting, A.J. Goncalves shared a photo slideshow of his Eagle Scout project. His work stands to benefit many—he led the effort to renovate the trail from Increase Miller to the outdoor classroom and then expand the trail to continue and connect to Fox Valley Park. The new path includes an outdoor nature classroom and facilitates locals who want to walk or bike to school. It also gives parents of younger siblings who don't play sports yet something to do while older brothers and sisters practice and play games! The project is impressive in scope and we've included the whole slide show here. Get out and see it if you can.

2. Try a new wine at The Finer Winer

Stop by on Saturday beginning at 4 p.m. when an array of wines from Liberty Wines will be available for tasting. Co-owner Domenick Turchioe said it's a terrific sampling and they'll be there until 8 p.m. More info here.

5. Sunday is Waffle Day!

According to holiday insights.com, International Waffle Day, which originated in Sweden, where it's called "Våffeldagen." The holiday coincides with the Feast of the Annunciation and the start of spring in Sweden and Europe. It's customary for Swedish families to celebrate the two events by making waffles on this day. (This is not to be confused with National Waffle Day, on Aug. 24, which celebrates the patenting of the waffle iron by Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York on August 24, 1869. Don't worry. We'll remind you.)

In any case, we love hot and crispy waffles—where do you go? The Bedford Diner? Let us know how you celebrated.
