PlanAhead: May 21-25
Last week’s rain was a bit much. So I’m definitely hoping for sunny skies in Soda City this week – especially since so many things are going outdoors this week, like: Bierkeller’s Riverfront Happy Hour (after Mother Nature cancelled it last week), Plogging and Pints with Columbia Craft + City of Columbia’s Bike Month event, Bike, Bowl, Bocce, Beer.

Also, we’re that much closer to a 3-day weekend. 🙌
