64°F12:08 PM I got a rare night out with my sister last night, and we headed to the Improv for a comedy show. It was nice to see the show opened by local comedian Jaime Utley before moving on to feature Jake Iannarino and headliner Dan Cummins. Utley warmed the audience up with some humor about his dysfunctional family and promises of a drawing at the end of the show.
Monster Truck Jam at Broadbent Arena was a hit with fans on January 27. The show wouldn't be complete without some sort of destruction, and the show didn't disappoint.
If one of your New Year's resolutions was to get more involved in your community and have some fun at the same time, you are in luck! There are a couple of great activities that are about to get underway where you can meet people and make new friends. If you are new to the area, or just looking for new activities, here are some offerings:
“I believe they’ll find Charlotte people to be very warm, upbeat, hospitable, Southern and enjoyably overall. We welcome our friends from Louisville, whom we love, with the exception of when Louisville plays Carolina or Duke in basketball!!!” So started my conversation with good friend, Mike Donovan, foodie and radio god. Mike has lived in Charlotte for years, even used own a couple of restaurants.
According to a press release issued yesterday, ticket sales begin today. Entertainment-seekers have their first chance to purchase tickets for Louisville’s new highly-anticipated winter attraction. Snow Ball Park, the ultimate destination for cold-weather fun, opens at Cardinal Stadium at the Kentucky Exposition Center on Nov. 25.
As a mother of four, who stays at home to raise them, I know what it’s like to want to connect with other people like me. Over the last few years I’ve done some asking around, internet searches, and checking into clubs and playgroups in our area. If you’re in the market for playgroups, organized outings, entertainment, fellowship, etc. you may find something below. Special thanks to some of the club representatives for the great information!
