Things to do: Super Bowl weekend with a dash of Valentine's love
This weekend seems like it has two big holidays packed into one with Super Bowl Sunday and the upcoming Valentine's holiday Tuesday.
That means there will be plenty to do over the next few days to celebrate.
1. Super Bowl Sunday events
Whether your team is in the big game or not this year, Super Bowl Sunday is always a fun time to gather with friends, eat good food and more.
For those who might not have a Super Bowl Party to go to this year, here are a few local Sunday events to take part in.
Harvest Share Food Pantry will host its annual Soup N Bowl fundraiser starting at 11 a.m. Saturday. The event will once again take place at The Memorial Building, 308 W. 7th St., and feature many soups provided by local chefs and restaurants. The event will also include both live and silent auctions.
The Tilted Mule, 102 Depot St., will host a "Superb Owl" party starting at 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Watch the big game and see if you can catch a glimpse of the elusive owl.
Battleground South Cigar Lounge, 1020 S. Garden St., will also view the Super Bowl starting at 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
Fozzy's Bar & Grill, 150 Stephen P. Yokich Parkway, will not only play host to the big game this Sunday, but will offer prizes to attendees throughout the night. Prizes include a 55-inch flatscreen TV and four $50 Fozzy's gift cards. Email FozzysSpringHill@gmail.com to make a reservation.
2. Valentine's events
Celebrate the big day of romance a few days early this weekend with these pre-Valentine's Day events.
Historic Elm Springs, 2537 Park Plus Drive, will host a special Valentine's Dessert Party starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Guests will taste from an assortment of sweets, cakes and candies made by some of the county's finest local bakers. Tickets are $20 per person or two for $35.

Grinder's Switch, 510 S. Garden St., will host a special Valentine's wine and cheese pairing event starting at 5 p.m. Sunday.
3. Asgard remembers Dr. Stephen 'Doc' Porter
A year ago, the city of Columbia lost one of its great local business owners in Asgard Brewing Co. & Taproom founder Dr. Stephen Porter.
Porter's legacy and memory will be celebrated one-year later starting at 6 p.m. Friday.
Stop by the main tap room, 104 E. 5th St., bring old photos and share stories about Porter's impact on Columbia, or maybe just on your everyday life for those who knew him.
4. Viva NashVegas Radio Show
Start your Super Bowl weekend off with a dose of history, entertainment and a good amount of humor as the world famous Viva NashVegas Radio Show returns.
The broadcast, which airs monthly on WKRM 103.7 FM, will start at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
The show, hosted by Grand Ole Opry alumni George Hamilton V, often features unique special guests, skits and many throwbacks to old-school variety shows, and recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in the summer of 2022.
