Don’t forget to browse and purchase a little something extra special for yourself while you’re outfitting your entire family.
3. Play a Little Bingo
If it’s a little too chilly outside, try your luck indoors with a family-get-together around the Bingo cards! Southern Crescent Veteran Services is holding the Monday Night Family Bingo at Southern Fusion Dining on the 24th. The Bingo fun starts at 7:00 PM and is a great night of fun, even if you don’t win big.
4. Dancing with the Stars, Locust Grove Style
Coming up in February, you’ll want to get your dancing shoes ready. It’s the third annual Dancing with the Stars of Henry County, sponsored by the Prevent Child Abuse network. And you’ll enjoy dinner, drinks, and yes, the dancing competition for amateur couples. There will additionally be a silent auction and professional dance entertainment. Tickets include dinner, a drink ticket, and dessert. Whether you compete in the dance-off or not, you’re guaranteed to have a fabulous time and for a great cause. So head over to the Locust Grove Event Center on February 12, and until then, start practicing your favorite moves!
5. Find a Cozy Place for Delicious Hot Cocoa as a Family
Another family-favorite activity to enjoy during the winter involves sipping on a hot, chocolatey treat – hot cocoa. So load up the littles and venture out to sample all the Locust Grove hot chocolate hotspots, including Crumbles by Nicole, Cake ‘n Shake, and Southern Fusion. You can even drive through Dunkin’ or pop into Maui Wowi for a warm cocoa-infused beverage. It’s a great winter treat the whole family will love on those especially cold Locust Grove winter afternoons.
6. Got Snow? Get the Sleds Out for a Ride Down Nearby Stone Mountain
Nearby Stone Mountain Park is a great way to spend a day in the powder with the whole family.

And if the mountain is closed, you can still enjoy the Stone Mountain Summit Skyride, play a little miniature golf, or hop aboard the Scenic Railroad for a tour around the mountain.
