Enjoy the Weekend in Forsyth County and North Georgia ⛷️
Is it just me, or does a little warmer weather instantly make you want to make plans? If you’re ready to get outside, do something new with the kids, or catch a can’t-miss community event, I pulled together a lineup of great things to do this week in Forsyth County and around North Georgia.
And if you’re looking for a cozy, stay-in option between outings, the Winter Olympics are here. The Opening Ceremony kicks things off Friday night, and the Games begin this weekend. It’s the perfect excuse to gather the crew, put out a simple snack spread, and cheer on Team USA after a day exploring local trails, parks, and events.
But wait, there’s more…Super Bowl 60 on NBC TV. Who will you be rooting for?…besides the Falcons to have a better year next year?😉Patriots or Seahawks?
