FEBRUARY 2008
Vol. 5 Issue 2


February is a month of many unofficial holidays starting with Groundhog Day.  On February 2nd, Groundhog Day, we pause for a moment to see if winter will continue for 6 more weeks or if we will have an early spring.  Folklore says that if the groundhog comes out of his hole and sees his shadow winter will continue.  If it is a cloudy day where he doesn’t see his shadow then spring is on its way.

Not to be forgotten in February is the much celebrated Valentine’s Day.  A day when we take time to remember and honour our loved ones.  Other celebrations include Mardi Gras or Carnival followed by Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.  Lent is a period of reflection and self preparation leading us toward Easter.

Kick off the month of February by attending the Garden Park Tours Promotional Evening on February 1st in the Magnolia (Dining) Room at 7:00 pm.  Learn about what new and returning Tours are planned for 2008 and pick up your copy of the 2008 Tours Booklet.  The new Tours Booklets will be available in the Garden Park Lobby after this event.
