Starting February 4, 2022

Warren County Wanderings

"No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow." - Proverb

Despite Punxsutawney Phil (pictured in this Feb. 2, 2020 file photo, held by Groundhog Club co-handler Al Dereume - AP Photo/Barry Reeger, File) predicting six more weeks of winter, let’s focus on the proverb: Spring is on its way!

Our calendar may be a little light this weekend, but Warren County is starting to emerge from its burrow! Next weekend ushers in the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day, so in addition to the coming attractions below, as always, we encourage you to reach out to your favorite establishments – or better yet, take a chance on place you’ve been meaning to try, but have yet to patronize – and find out what they have to offer.

Happy belated Groundhog Day, and Happy Wanderings!
