Daylight saving time is almost here, which means more time to do things! Which is great, because as the weather continues to warm, outdoor events are rolling along in Howard County. But don’t worry, there is still plenty happening indoors as well.

Consider these Howard County activities for the week ending March 12.

The Importance of Being Earnest
