For the lunch-time crowd, people can enjoy musical performances every workday from noon until one. This program moves all around the downtown area and locations can be tracked on their website.

Late evening drivers and passengers can explore around through neighborhoods and downtown area to look at holiday lights.

If none of these options are up your alley, try the classic: stay home this weekend and plan a snowball fight with your neighbors.

To defeat your enemies you’ll need a proper snow shelter to withstand the battle. Start with a 7 to 8 feet mound of snow. After an hour and a half wait, hollow out the middle. Keep in mind the walls of your fortress should be two inches thick. If you want to get really fancy use the remaining snow to build snowbeds and a hole at the top for ventilation.
