February 2016 - Remember it's 29 days long this year - So what's coming up in Southington

Happy Leap Year 
Hey Appleseed readers...

We have quite an array of February events coming up soon in Southington, a few of which are listed below and to the right in our More from Appleseed notes and newsbriefs.

But first, count the days of February, that's right ... 29.  (I had a cousin who was born on February 29th who claimed that his birthday came every four years, so when he was forty he told us we was only ten.)

And for trivia lovers, we have some interesting information about February 29th, known as Leap Day. Read what Wikipedia has to say about it.
