IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Get ready for sun! Put on some sunglasses and slather on sunscreen to get ready for the day. The only downside to this fantastic light-filled day is that it’s going to be one of the coldest yet. With chilly highs of 17 degrees and arctic lows of -1 degrees, you better rethink tanning in the Yard.

IN THE D-HALL

Dinner:
Honey BBQ Pulled Chicken
