Happy February 1! While it may be super bowl weekend – Pittsburgh has decided that isn’t really an occasion worth celebrating. Thankfully hockey is back and Punxsutany Phil makes an appearance. There are a bunch of ways to celebrate Groundhog Day around Pittsburgh this weekend. And with just 14 days left until Valentine’s day – there are a few activities to help you pick out or make some gifts for that special someone.

Here are the events we share on WDVE radio this morning. You can listen to us live with the DVE Morning show most Friday mornings at 6:45 am.
