Happy Spring!..checks notes..oh, it’s the middle of February?..SO many events have been cancelled or postponed in the northwoods this winter, and LOLA is no exception. We cancelled the cookie contest and event when the sled dog races got cancelled, and we are postponing the February Open Mic (not due to no snow or weather, but for other circumstances), but we press on. We have a lot of wonderful classes coming up this winter/spring, including some from renowned Green Bay woodworkers (registration deadline is Feb 16th for them!) and a variety of arts, crafts, and baking; something sure to pique your interest; give yourself something to look forward to while we wait for snow or the actual arrival of spring and get into our gardens (personally? I say spring and gardens)
