Following Hurricane Irma, electricity or not, we need to get out of the house and get back to doing things. And as much as this is important for us, and our mental well-being, it is important for the businesses and events we would normally frequent. Cheers to getting 'back-to-normal' as we think about and support our friends around the state who struggle to find necessities and services. Below you will find a donation drive and other fun Things to Do This Weekend in Tampa Bay.
