Fun Things To Do In March

Although March 19 is the first day of spring, the weather is too unpredictable to plan a lot of outdoor activities. However, it’s a great month to lay some groundwork for the warmer days ahead. It may be too early to plant flowers but a good time to clean out the flower beds and plan your garden. Also, you may want to get the dreaded spring cleaning and decluttering out of the way before the warm weather calls you outdoors.

So, what do we do for fun in March? I have listed some events that you might enjoy!

EVENTS The Fur Ball, a fundraiser for the Catawba County Humane Society, on Saturday March 21 at 6 p.m. at Moretz Mills. It’s a formal event with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, gourmet food stations, live music, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and more. The cost is $100 per person or $850 for a full table. For more information, visit catawbahumane.org.
