Cabin fever in Howard County

Winter break is almost over, and I'm sure that for some folks, it can't come soon enough. Most school systems around here have been closed since Christmas Eve, but Howard County schools got a jump on vacation and have been shut since Dec. 19.

Once you've gotten through all the holiday celebrating, how do you entertain your crew during a vacation that long? Our reporter Jonathan Pitts would love to talk to Howard County families about what they're doing. If you're interested, give him a call at 410-715-2812 or e-mail him here.
