60 events on the calendar so far this week! It is Presidents’ Day today, so no USPS mail delivery and banks will be closed.
Because of the snow, crews are working on priority snow routes, and remember not to park your car in these areas! See city snow info / updates here. See Priority Snow Route info (where not to park!) here. Also, if you want to keep up with City roads info, we love and recommend checking the Public Works Facebook page. Columbia Public Schools and MU campus are closed today. Columbia College day campus is closed, and the evening campus will be decided later today. The Columbia Public Library will open at 1 pm today. Check your event of interest to see if it is still scheduled today.
Highlights for the week are below. As always, click on calendar items in the right column for links, descriptions, and any good info we could find about the event.
The Regularly Available page includes more events! For consideration: Eastside Tavern generally has a comedy night on Tuesday nights—check their Facebook page to confirm. On Wednesday, the skies are forecast to be clear, although it will be cold! So if you love stars, and are hearty and willing to bundle, check out Laws Observatory at the top of the MU Physics Building from 8-10 pm, where CMAA volunteers will aim the telescope at the good stuff in the night sky.
