5 Things You Should Know Today - Feb. 29, 2012

It's Leap Day, and there's a party at the Farmington Community Library.

 

Remember to celebrate this Leap Year's extra day today, and don't let the expected rain and sleet dampen your spirits: 

1. The weather

The National Weather Service is predicting rain and sleet today before 1 p.m., with drizzle continuing into the afternoon and possibly through the evening. Today's high should be around 48, with a low tonight around 41. Little or no ice and snow accumulation is expected.

2. Leapin' Leap Year

Celebrate Leap Year with the Farmington Community Library Farmington branch today. They're hosting some fun activities starting at 1 p.m. No registration is required, and this event is free. 

3. Painters Group for Seniors

Adults over 50 who enjoy painting are invited to the Costick Center at 1 p.m. today to work with members of the Farmington Artist Club, who offer tips, guidance, and suggestions. The Costick Center provides the paints, and participants should bring their own canvases. There's no charge. 

4. Look ahead: Queen of Hearts Raffle Pot Grows

The Farmington Rotary Club's Queen of Hearts raffle has hit a total of $1,200, with another drawing scheduled Thursday, 9 p.m., at John Cowley & Sons in downtown Farmington.
