Asked: How will you spend Leap Day?

Although you can’t get more than 24 hours in a day, you have 24 extra hours this year.

If this month of February feels longer to you, it’s because it is. Leap Day is Thursday, Feb. 29. Leap year happens every four years based on the Gregorian calendar. The main reason it exists is to keep months in sync with recurring events like equinoxes and solstices.

Since we’re getting an extra day this year, we’re curious to know how will you use those 24 extra hours in the Twin City. If you could relive one day of your life on this year, what would you do? Or, if you are planning to do something unique on Feb. 29, we’d love to know. Tell us, and your answer may be featured in a future newsletter.
