Where’s the Fun: Valentines Day
If you’ve been wondering Where’s the Fun on Valentines Day, good news. We’ve done the work and put it in a single list so its easy to sort through. Whether you’ve been married for dozens of years or want to celebrate Valentines with a group of girlfriends instead (Galentine’s day), there’s something for almost anyone. The list is sorted by city, so find your favorite.
Something to be aware of: Valentines Day is the 14th of February. It’s a Monday this year. Many, if not most, of these events are falling on the weekend before Valentines day as that’s when most of the establishments are putting them on. There are all kinds of other events going on this same weekend. Anything from fishing tournaments and Ice Carousels to retreats and Toy Shows. You can find the fun list on the calendar of 320FUN. For the sake of this list, we’re only offering events and fun that are Valentine themed.

Melrose
Love & Laugh Valentine’s Dinner & Comedy Show
Join the Melrose Area Chamber of Commerce for a night of laughter at the Melrose American Legion this Valentine’s Day with the Love & Laugh Comedy Show
Join the Melrose Area Chamber of Commerce for a night of great food and laughter at the Melrose American Legion this Valentine’s Day with comedian, John DeBoer! All tickets include dinner, dessert and the show.
From John’s Website:
“It has been said, there are only two ways you can go in life after making a mistake. Learn from it and move on or don’t learn from it and and stay where you are. John DeBoer has chosen a third route: Write a joke about it and share it with the masses.His nerve-hitting show flows from the devious side of childhood to the never-ending pressures of our times.
His twisted observations of life, the world around him, and particularly how he has managed to screw it up, have earned John a reputation as one of the most consistently strong acts wherever he goes.
Watching John on stage takes the audience on a roller coaster of seeing their own blunders or faux pas’, and then being compelled to laugh at them. Falling somewhere between “The Next John DeBoer of Comedy”, and “the best you can do on short notice”, he takes us on a ride we’ve all been on, yet somehow failed to see the humor in the first time through.
Having appeared at comedy clubs, colleges, three federal penitentiaries, the Daytona 500 Experience, as well as on Comedy Central, XM-Sirius Satellite Radio, and in national TV commercials, with a brief (very brief, yet heartwarming) shot on Last Comic Standing, John DeBoer might be the funniest comedian you never heard of.”
