Feb. 7: A Giant Day, Charles Dickens and Basketball

Here are some of the events going on around Mineola.

I love a parade, don’t you? And boy have we got a Giant one for you today (pun intended)! If football isn’t you’re thing, we do have action on the hardwood as well as a bi-centennial of someone you probably know.

Here’s what else you need to know:

1. The Giants will be having their parade down the Canyon of Heroes this morning and we want to see your photos! Did you have a Super Bowl party that was epic? Are you going to the parade to snap some shots? ! If you’re headed in for the parade, don’t forget to check out the extra trains here!
