3. Hot Chocolate at the Library
The low on Monday, Jan. 10, is 25 degrees, and that high of 51 is just not enough to thaw us out! Solution? Drop by the Dallas St. Branch of the Fort Smith Public Library on Monday, Jan. 10, from 3:30-4:30 PM for some free hot chocolate and activities. Click here for more information.
4. For the Birds Craft
Thursday, Jan. 13, is a good time to visit the Arkansas Game and Fish River Valley Nature Center if you're into birds. At 5 PM, the For the Birds Craft event will give you the tools and assistance you need to build a birdhouse and feeder for your backyard. You can register for the event here.
