We know y’all are going stir crazy at home so we will be slowly posting about things to do to get out of the house but we ask that you are extremely cautious on the roads, especially since not all of the traffic lights are working, pay attention, and try to stay close to home as much as possible.
Our local businesses need your business, especially the seasonal ones, so we’ll be sharing these things to do and where to play in the coming days.
NOTE: We are currently updating this list with all of the local organizations we have verified are open and/or offering specials to the public. This list will grow larger through the day and we will update it as we get additional information.
