This week: zumba, salsa and taking a plunge

Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.

There’s a new Zumba class meeting at Pilgrim on Mondays.

Been day dreaming about that summer outing? Do some window shopping for that day dream at the Duluth Boat, Sports, Travel and RV Show at the DECC. It runs Wednesday through Sunday.

Valentines Day has lots of events for your romantic outing. Here’s a sampling:

• Love Is in the Air at Camp Miller.
• Salsa Night at Avalon.
• Valentine Dining at Glensheen.
• A Wine & Chocolate Affair at Lizzard’s.

Also on Thursday, Almost, Maine opens at the Playhouse and Tales from the Bad Years opens at UMD. Both run for two weekends.

A couple Black History Month events to note this week. Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. (Ret.) Hiram Mann will talk about his experiences during UMD’s Profiles in Courage event on Friday at Weber Hall. Sue Sojourner and Cheryl Reitan launch their book Thunder of Freedom: Black Leadership and the Transformation of 1960s Mississippi Sunday at At Sara’s Table.

Watch people jump into Lake Superior on purpose at the annual Polar Bear Plunge on Saturday. Sign up is at Grandma’s Sports Garden.

Or if you’d rather stay inside and watch movies, there’s a Short Films Festival at the Play Ground on Saturday.

So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know!
