Groundhog Day: I love the movie, but think the whole groundhog thing is pretty silly. Still, my guess is Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow this morning – it's going to be a cold day and somehow I think that's a bad omen.

Fiddler on the Roof @ EGHS: The production finishes its run today with two performances, at 1 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door. It’s a great show!

Story Hour at Symposium Books: Children (and their adults) are invited to Story Hour at Symposium Books . Every week they pick a new story and read it to the kids with animal crackers and fun.
