Around Brimfield: February is for lovers, library events, and a disco ball helmet

- Shirley Mars

One never knows what Ohio weather will bring in February, but the month redeems itself by being the month to celebrate love. 

When I asked a few people to name famous lovers, without fail, the top answer was Romeo and Juliet. Let’s be real. I suppose it is possible that it was true love, but Juliet was 13 and Romeo was likely 16 or so. Their relationship was short-lived, and they never actually lived together.
