Your #COLAweekend guide | Jan. 5-7, 2018
I know y’all were hoping to get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather we’re having this weekend – but unfortunately, most events are happening indoors. But seriously… stay warm with Gamecock Basketball inside Colonial Life Arena, a flick at The Nick or the new Afro-Cuban public art exhibit at Tapp’s.
