Don't be Bored This Winter Festivals Abound. HeidiTown

Liven Things Up This Winter with Food & Festival Fun. HeidiTown (3)

No snow is falling and it looks like Seattle-weather (something I am all too familiar with from childhood). So what’s on tap to bring joy to this gray, wintry world?  If I am planning, I am happy. A plan means something to look forward to, and
