Longer days and warmer temperatures are on the horizon, and this weekend there’s plenty of opportunities to get outside. The Chattanooga Football Club will have its home opener, and the Chattanooga Zoo will host ASL Day, providing greater access for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. For those looking for a way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, there’s Shamrocks and Shenanigans along Station Street. Here’s the chronology.
