For those who might not be familiar, Palentine's Day is a common celebration. Leslie Knope, a fictional character from “Parks and Recreation,” is to thank for the inspiration behind it. What some have coined “Valentine’s Day Eve” or Palentine’s Day, is celebrated on February 13, and is an opportunity to show appreciation and celebrate the friends in one’s life. For those wanting to celebrate, but not sure what to do, look no further. The Herald staff has a list of 10 ideas to choose from.
