The office of Tourism and Promotion will roll out its redesigned website on Valentine's Day.
Howard County's office of tourism is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and on Valentine's Day, the agency will unveil a new attraction—its updated website. Howard County Tourism and Promotion (HCTP) will launch a redesigned website on Tuesday featuring aesthetic and experiential improvements, according to Rachelina Bonacci, HCTP's executive director. The new look is being rolled out on Valentine's Day so that people will remember the date and because "we put a lot of love into that website," said Bonacci. "We love how it looks (and) functions and are sure users will too..." The county hotel tax—which went into effect this year and doubled HCTP's funding—made the project possible, according to Bonacci.

Fifth graders developed skills planning a Valentine's Day party for Elkridge seniors.
At Colonial Landing in Elkridge, Valentine's Day came a few days early this year. Residents of the older adult community off Rowanberry Drive were showered with cards and crafts during a Feb. 11 holiday party hosted by Girl Scouts from Rockburn Elementary School.

Three ideas in and around Elkridge for a Valentine's Day that will go down in history.
Are you still making plans for a special Valentine’s Day meal? Here are three ideas for tried-and-true, more-than-a-century-old establishments near Elkridge. 1. The Elkridge Furnace Inn has been listed as one of Open Table's Top 100 romantic spots. The building has been around since 1744, when it was first used as a tavern. To this day, the restaurant has a very extensive wine list. Its prix fixe Valentine's Day menu for 2012 includes dishes like shrimp and scallops in saffron sauce and passionfruit creme brulee. There's a path winding around the inn for a romantic stroll. 2. Over in Catonsville, try the Candle Light Inn, housed on a country estate from the 1800s.
