In case you've missed all my romance-laden communications, here's a quick round up of what's going on in town this weekend.

Three of our favorite B&Bs have special packages including Thee Hubbell House, Oaklea Mansion and The FARMHOUSE at Hunter's Moon Farm.

Thee Hubbell House, Double C Steakhouse and Crossroads have the Great Romance Package which includes the Master Suite at Hubbell, dinner at Double C and music at Crossroads.

Oaklea Mansion is offering $35 one hour massage for any guest staying two nights. The FARMHOUSE will welcome you with chocolate and champagne when you stay two nights.

The events start Thursday night with a return visit from Andrew McKnight performing at the First United Methodist Church. He weaves quite a speel with his Americana music laced heavily with the sounds of the Appalachian mountains.

A noon on Saturday, Tinney Chapel will be hosting a free Valentine's Day chili lunch at their location just a couple of miles south of town. You probably have to be from Texas to appreciate their reason: Nothing says love like chili.

Those lovebirds Adler and Hearne are performing at Brewbaker's Valentine Dinner and Concert, Saturday, February 13. The $30 ticket includes dinner and the performance with your choice of Royal Beef Tendeloin or Rainbow Trout.

Saturday also mean Rhett Butler will be back at Crossroads performing at the final concert in the current venue. Mayor Carolyn Jones is sponsoring this very special concert.

It's all here waiting for you. Come and enjoy yourselves!

In Winnsboro, you never know what new location is going to become a venue for live music! Watch for live events at the First United Methodist Church. The first will be Friday, February 12 at 7:00 pm.

Perhaps you remember Andrew from the house concerts Shannon and Michael Monk hosted at their home - The Monastery. He's coming back with more of his unique blend of Americana, folk, blue and Appalachian music, laced together with stories and historical details that weaves a colorful tapestry of our American roots.

If you didn't have the privilege of hearing him last time he found his way here, you can get a sample of his music at AndrewMcKnight.net.

Sean Kelly is the bass player who will play with Andrew. This is a return trip to Winnsboro for him as well. And we couldn't be happier to have them both back.

A donation of $10-$15 is suggested for the evening's entertainment. Shannon tells me coffee, tea and desserts will be served.

Don't you just love living in a small town where music is so tenderly nurtured?
