Superb Sunday 2/11/24
Superb Sunday!
It’s a sportsball takeover, or is it? There are even more football and great music event opportunities than on a usual Sunday, with some places all football, others all music and yet others mixing things up… to deal with that, the full list includes all three types, while what’s usually just the ‘x’ & ‘X’ highlights at the bottom for today includes all of the music only events for those who just want to get away from things that aren’t music… check it out and get out to enjoy one or more of the events if you can… and thanks for reading, subscribing to, and sharing Jerome’s Event List!
