Best Bets: New year starting nice and easy
Published 6:20 am Friday, January 3, 2020
The area is still finding its 2020 legs, but while there aren’t any real big named events this weekend, there are still a few things that will get you out of the house for a little recreation as well as to maybe make a difference.
These events include a blood drive in LeRoy on Friday.
Kick off your Saturday with some quality food by attending the Masonic All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Feed, with proceeds going to LIFE Mower County.
And if some of those things don’t appeal to you, simply get out and go for a walk. Temperatures this weekend will range from the mid-20s to the high 30s beneath partly sunny skies this weekend. Perfect conditions to enjoy outside.
