Cherokee Scoop | January 30, 2025

Good Morning! ☀️

Alright, January – you weren’t that bad. You gave us a chance to recharge, cozy up, and pretend we’d stick to our resolutions (but we all know how that goes, well some of us anyways 😆). Now, as February rolls in, we’re ready to kick the winter chill to the curb and welcome some sunshine! ☀️ The weather’s warming up, new stores are opening, delicious restaurants are calling our names, and there’s a whole lineup of events that’ll keep us busy. So, let’s trade in those puffer jackets for something a little more spring-ready, grab a snack from a new spot in town, and get excited for all the fun that’s about to unfold. 🎉 Bring it on, February!

Let’s get after it!
