How to celebrate Valentine's Day at BC
By Melissa Sullebarger
Staff Writer
It’s difficult to wander through many stores
in the area without encountering the tell-tale
clusters of pink, red, and white that signify the
expeditious approach of St Valentine’s Day.
All the same. I’m sure that many of you have
yet to make plans, so here for your perusal are
four different local activities you can use to
commemorate the beheading of a “heretic” from
the Roman Empire.
Forthose ofyou whose interests tend towards
the natural, you can meet with The Friends
of DuPont at High Falls for hiking early on
Saturday. Time will be spent at the different
waterfalls and hot chocolate will be provided.
The Chick-Fil-A in Hendersonville will once
again be hosting their hugely popular Valentine’s
Candlelight Dinners. There will be a “Daddy-
Daughter Dinner” on Saturday, and a “Couple’s
Dinner” on Monday, Valentine’s Day itself
Tableside service will be provided by their staff,
and complimentary chocolate and flowers will
be provided as well. I unfortunately cannot
recommend this particular event to anyone
outside the heterosexual persuasion, given
the paradox implicit in celebrating your love
through a corporation that disapproves of it.
The Cradle of Forestry will be hosting their
annual event Frog Love in the Pink Beds on
Saturday in the Pink Beds Valley, which is an
awareness program about the mating cycles
of frogs native to the area. The program costs
five dollars, and it begins at 1 p.m. in the Forest
Discovery Center The group will then move
on to a loosely guided walk through the valley,
looking for frog habitats. So, if your idea of a
good time is educating yourself or another in
the particulars of the procreation habits of small
amphibians, this may be the activity for you.
Reportedly, stores and restaurants all
throughout Downtown Brevard are offering
specials over the weekend in what is being
called their “Sweetheart of a Sale.” However,
there does not seem to be any list of which
establishments are taking part, so I would
recommend that you come up with some form
of Consumer Roulette for this one.
So, your former excuse of there being nothing
to do has been taken away. All the same, don’t
let me guilt you into doing anything extravagant,
personally, I plan to spend the day and its
preceding weekend eating cookie dough and
watching lousy movies with my friends and
boyfriend. So whatever, you choose, don’t let
the date on your calendar stress you out and
don’t pronounce “Valentine” with an “M.”
