5 THINGS: Exploring Fiction, Via Peace Dale and Reading Rainbow

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Saturday, February 16, 2013:

So about that snow… According to Weather.com, only about an inch of a slushy mix is expected. For the forecast, click here.

Exploring the art of fiction with Jennifer Mills Kerr! The name of this series is pretty self-explanatory, isn’t it? It starts at 11 a.m. at the Peace Dale Library, and for more information, click here.

It’s not too late to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Celebrate it at a dance bash with Roger Ceresi and his All Starz at the Towers at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $12, and for more info, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Lithuania's statehood day. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know!

And they surely learned from that mistake, kind of, sort of… not really. On this day in 2005, the National Hockey League formally cancelled its 2004-05 season.

It’s a Reading Rainbow! Happy 56^th birthday to LeVar Burton! You might know him as the host of Reading Rainbow, or as Geordi in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
