Easter is rapidly approaching, and we have at least one event that wants to kick that off early! Speaking of Easter themes, how many Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs is too many for one adult? If you ask me, the limit does not exist. That’s a top tier candy I won’t listen to anybody who says otherwise. This week is filled with unique events that only come around once a year, and all but one are free to attend, so get outside, enjoy the weather and go see what this city has to offer. One quick note - I originally included the UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball, but upon checking, it looks like tickets are sold out or unable to be purchased any longer, so I removed it as not to preview an event additional people can’t attend.

No more candy talk, let's get right to the good stuff!

Feeling off lately? It could be your hormones.
