• For the Galentines. There are so many Galentine's events happening around town, I could've made a separate event guide with just gal pal fun. But, in the interest of simplifying things, here's a quick rundown. There's a comedy show Wednesday night, a party at Nordic Hall Saturday morning, a lashes and med spa moment Thursday night, wine and candle painting at the new Tashi's Yarn Bar in Dell Rapids on Saturday night, and bring the girls to Barre3 all weekend for free.
  • For those who love pets more than people. Roxi & Co. is hosting "Paws and Poses," a Valentine's date with your pet. Take themed photos, enjoy a build-your-own treat bag station, and get a special Valentine's themed gift for every pet who attends. Details here.
  • For the fancy date night. Harvester Kitchen is hosting the "Feast of the Valentine's" all weekend with elegant dishes, creative wine pairings, and a warm, welcoming ambiance. Check out the menu and get your reservations here.
  • For those who want to keep it more casual. It doesn't have to be fancy to be romantic. Sunny's Pizzeria is dimming the lights, playing the slow jams and setting the mood for a cozy, casual date night experience Saturday and Sunday evening. Details here.
  • For those wanting something a little more risqué. Listen, we're all adults here. If you want some more mature themes for your Valentine's celebrations, you can swing by "Naughty Bingo" at Wiley's starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Details here.
  • For the do-ers. Not every couple has a "sit still and eat" style of dating. For those who want to get a little crafty, there's a couples cake decorating class at The Social on Sunday afternoon, as well as a cookie decorating class Wednesday at Dawley Farm. For those who want to move around more, there's also a ballroom dancing class at The Premiere Playhouse on Thursday evening. There's also a bowling event at Union Social all day Thursday.
