If you haven't planned anything for Valentine’s Day yet, don’t fret! Whether you want to treat yourself, that special someone, or your friends and family, we have some last minute ideas that you'll absolutely LOVE.
Enjoy a Horse Drawn Sleigh Ride
Enjoy a romantic horse drawn sleigh (or wagon, depending on the weather) ride on trails that wind through the 50-acre wood lot at Dual Acres, just outside Shallow Lake. Wrap up your visit with a steaming mug of hot chocolate in the Welcome Shack. You can book a two-seater, or bring friends and family along in the 10 seater.
If spending time outdoors is your love language, why not skate outdoors under the sun or stars. Check out all the Outdoor Rinks in Grey County.
And chocolate covered strawberries, too! Make sure you get your order in by Friday, February 10 for roses, tulips, mini carnations or a variety of special bakery treats from Goldsmith's Farm Market and Bakery. Bakery options include a 6" strawberry cheesecake, a bakery share box for two, heart shaped chocolate cookies, or chocolate dipped strawberries!
Check out the Clarksburg Has h'ART Event on February 11 for some super fun Valentine's themed workshops.
