The cultural event promises to entertain spectators with more music, more prizes and more fun than previous years. The Valentines Day Cup originated 12 years ago with local residents to help promote and encourage the traditional Turks and Caicos Islands hand carved model sailboats. In addition to the exciting boat races, this year the event will host a cookout, live music and loads of prizes and giveaways. So pack that cooler, sunscreen and hop on the ferry and join your community at Bambarra for a day of history, culture and fun! For more information, to get involved as a volunteer or to sponsor a boat contact middlecaicos.tci@gmail. com , or call Daniel Forbes at 232-6132 or Sara Kaufman at 231-4884. 2 Super Bowl XLVI One of the biggest sporting events in North America will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana but many local establishments will be holding Super Bowl Parties for Islanders to cheer on their favorite team! The Regent Palms will be transforming their Courtyard into a Super Bowl extravaganza, complete with a BIG screen, Super Bowl jackpots, buckets of beer and a tasty tapas menu. Pregame starts at 5:20pm. But if you prefer to stay at home to watch the game it will be broadcast on NBC and kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Eastern. 3 Family Day Everyone knows you don’t need a designated day to spend with your family but Feb. 20 is TCI’s designated Family Day across the islands. Make an extra effort on this day to spend time with your loved ones and to show them how special and important they are. Enjoy this family day with some of the following quality time activities and try to incorporate them into your life on a regular basis: ▶▶Dining in - Get the entire family involved in cooking the family dinner together. Create the menu together and set aside a cooking task for each member of the family. Not only will everyone feel accomplished but the meal will taste even more delicious! ▶▶Exercise Together - Take a walk on the beach when it’s warm, play indoor hopscotch when it’s not. One of the healthiest things to do as a family is to exercise every day, regardless of the weather. You don’t have to sign up for a family boot camp. Just find simple ways to keep your family active indoors or out. Everyone gets moving and the time together helps your family bond. ▶▶Play together - This is a great way for families to unwind from their daily routines and stresses. Whether you are gather the family together to play your favorite board game, makes unique crafts or to shoot some hoops. Make time in your day to enjoy each others company. ▶▶Laugh together - The dog just made himself a bed in the piles of baby laundry you need to fold. Dinner is supposed to be on the table in 10 minutes but the meat’s still frozen. Your youngest just reminded you the school needs 48 cupcakes first thing in the morning. The only thing separating your chaotic life from a sitcom is the laugh track. Bust that stress when you laugh with your family every day. Tell a knock-knock joke. Start a tickle fight. Laugh for no reason. Research shows laughter really is the best medicine. Besides, who doesn’t want to hear those tiny shrieks of laughter from their favorite people in the world? 4 Sunday Brunch at Fairways Bar & Gril Head down to Fairways Bar & Grill for a delicious brunch prepared by Chef Lauren. Try the scrumptious Eggs Benedict or maybe the Smoked Salmon Omelette and Bloody Mary’s are only $3 each before noon. So bring your family or meet your friends at Fairway Bar & Grill and start your Sunday off right. Brunch served every weekend from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Call 946-5833 for reservations. Go Green 5 It’s a great time to become more eco-conscious and to apply green living strategies to your everyday life. Remember to turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth and turn off the lights when you leave the room. Not only will you get into an eco-friendly routine, those green habits will save you money on your water and electric bills. Don’t forget to bring your reusable shopping bags when shopping for groceries and if see any discarded plastic or garbage at some of the islands “Beautiful by Nature’ spots make sure you take that extra effort to dispose of it properly.
