We’re almost there. My most favorite month - February. My most favorite used to be December because my birthday falls in December but nobody ever remembers my birthday since there is so much going on that month. So I’ve officially given up on December and shifted my love to February. It is Valentines after all and what girl doesn’t love getting chocolates and jewelry and kisses and maybe a little cash slipped into a new pair of Jimmy Choo’s (yeah I’m hoping my husband reads this blog). Top the night off with a little to go dinner package from VOLT’s fantastic Valentine menu and we have a night to remember and hence my most favorite month.

I understand we are fully committed for Valentines but still get on the wait list because you just never know. You don’t want to miss this dinner. As for me, I’m faxing in my to go order with the little boxes checked off on the side of each course.

Downtown also has its most popular first Saturdays Feb 6th - Fire in Ice. Enjoy frosty fun with over 30 sparkling ice sculptures located throughout downtown, a LIVE ice carving demonstration, an interactive ice playground and more. Warm up with free hot cocoa and marshmallow roasting stations as you walk the streets. This year, we’re doing a swordfish and a sailboat. My husband’s company located on Church Street agreed to host their sailboat in front of VOLT so we have a fishing/sailing theme going on. Last year, the weather was so warm that all the ice sculptures melted before the night was out. Here’s hoping to a little lower temps so we have our ice sculptures for the full weekend this time.

We are also getting new art on Feb 6th for the Feb/March period, we will be hosting Karen Starika Ward’s architectural prints in our dining room. Please join us for the opening reception on the 6th.

And a special congrats to our GM Christopher who will celebrate a full year at VOLT on the 14th!

Almost forgot. Tuesday 2/16 is also the downtown progressive dinner and VOLT is doing the dessert. Ticket sales are tax deductible and proceeds go to our Downtown Frederick Partnership. To go more info click here
