It’s time to shed those winter coats and step out into the warmth of the spring sunlight — that time of the year that we want to stay out all day until the sun starts to slowly set later in the day. It’s a season of growth, play, outdoors, and activities. And there are plenty of welcoming spring activities waiting for community members of the Tri-Cities just around the corner.
