Smarty Scoop on Weekend Events

By Katie M

Wahoo - it’s the holidays!!! We know you’re probably busy, but if you need an escape from the family :), a place to take the kids now that school is out, or a great local event for your out-of-town guests, consider some of these events happening around the Triad. Don't forget that the lights at Tanglewood are still burning bright! We took my parents last night and they loved it! Plus, word has it that Greensboro has a "sugar plum neighborhoood" not to be missed. Be sure to check out Carrie's blog before the holidays are over!

Happy Holidays, Smarties! We hope you are enjoying the season!
