Winter Luau, Disco Ball & More Weekend Plans

It’s party time! Don your best Hawaiian shirt or ‘70s garb and head out to one (or both) of the fabulous parties happening on the peninsula this weekend. Rather spend your time in snowpants, boots and snowshoes? Plenty of opportunities abound following this week’s snowfall.
