Happy Friday BuzzHeads!

It’s the weekend… and January is doing what January does. Not a ton going on, not a ton of people trying to go anywhere, and everybody quietly resetting after the holidays. Still, there is a handful of things to do, plus a few local headlines and community updates. Let’s jump in.

Stay in the know at EnidBuzz.com.
