After staying in for snow days at the beginning of the week, it’s time to get out this weekend. BrickUniverse, a Lego fan event, is taking place at the Chattanooga Convention Center, and the Chattanooga Public Library is hosting a Dolly Parton-themed celebration for the singer-songwriter’s birthday. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day will feature a conversation with the daughters of civil rights activists King and Malcolm X.
