“We extended our season by one day to celebrate Valentine’s Day with our wonderful community. On Feb. 14, we will offer a ‘buy one, get one’ free special. We’ve planned the perfect date night – skating at beautiful Sweetland Amphitheatre and snuggling by one of our fire pits,” McGinty said.

“We offer full concessions including beer, wine, spirits and s’mores kits. We’d also like to say thank you to our wonderful community for supporting this Sweetland on Ice season. It was a big success.”

For those hoping to watch the action instead of participate, Troup High School will be hosting a wrestling event for boys and girls 4A section B and 5A section A.

Crave Cookie Company will be hosting a kid-friendly cookie designing class Saturday starting at 5 p.m. Owner Tammy Weissert said she hopes the children attending have fun even if it means getting messy. Space is limited so call Weissert at 706-668-3430 for availability and additional information.

“We have a number of families bringing kids. We’ll have heart shaped cookies for doing royal icing, so they get the grown-up icing. We’ll have a couple already decorated for them that they can come and put just the details on,” Weissert said. “We’re going to let them put the wet frosting on and kind of learn how to do all that and just have fun. It’ll probably be a little messy.”

If looking to shop, there will be a Valentine’s Day Pop Up Shop at 210 Daniel St. from noon to 5 p.m. It includes giveaways, games, fun, and is presented by Queen Rae Lash Collection.

CEO of Queen Rae’ Lash Collection Raven Gates said she hopes the community will join her and shop.
