Your Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2014 Weekend Entertainment Guide

Your weekend may see a few minor showers in the Fort Walton Beach/Destin area, but the temperatures are reported by www.weather.com to stay in the upper 50s to mid 60s, which is a relief from the icy cold weather we experienced midweek.

February 2 is not only Super Bowl Sunday, but it’s also Groundhog Day. Have fun celebrating the big game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos, and look forward to the outcome of whether Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not, determining whether we add six more weeks to winter or not.

The Life’s A Beach crew hopes you enjoy your weekend!
