DOG DAYS OF JANUARY

Some of us will be crying this Sunday–our first football-free Sunday in months. But it’ll be easy to turn that frown upside down. Go visit The Crow Collection of Asian Art. The friendly, and free, museum is teaming up with The Association of Chinese Professionals, DFW to offer a free festival in celebration of the Chinese New Year. The fun starts at 12 p.m. and culminates with a Dragon Parade and Lion Dance at 4 p.m.

Added bonus: If you were born 12 years ago (or 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 years ago), then you’re a dog. Not literally, but this is your year–the year of the dog. No word on whether you get special prizes at the festival, but I doubt it. You’re not that special.
